Pros and cons of large banks

Large banks often afford the conveniences of large branch and ATM networks, and sometimes, they pay generous sign-up bonuses to attract new customers. However, they often charge high fees and have high minimum balance requirements. Additionally, they tend to pay low interest rates on savings accounts. 

Pros

  • Brick-and-mortar locations
  • ATMs that are convenient to you
  • Large variety of bank account or lending products to choose from
  • Often offer bank account bonuses

Cons

  • Low yields on savings and certificates of deposit (CDs)
  • Often charge fees, such as monthly service and overdraft fees, that online-only banks don’t

Out-of-network ATM fees can be costly

Having access to a large fee-free ATM network is beneficial since ATM fees can be costly. The average total out-of-network ATM fee is $4.86, according to Bankrate’s 2025 checking account and ATM fee study. When deciding on a new bank, look for one that has convenient fee-free ATMs near you or will reimburse some or even all out-of-network fees that another bank charges you for using its ATM. Watch for banks that partner with third-party companies such as Allpoint and MoneyPass for expanded access.

Are bank account bonuses at large banks worth switching banks?

Some large banks offer cash bonuses in the hundreds or thousands of dollars for opening a new account and depositing a certain amount. However, banking is a long-term relationship, which means that it’s wise to think about more than getting a bank bonus now. Consider your long-term financial goals — and whether the bank fits your needs, regardless of the short-term incentive.

If a bank offers a compelling bonus and the account’s features align well with your banking needs, it may be worth pursuing. Banking should support your financial life, not create extra work for you. If the requirements to earn the bonus are outside your financial comfort zone or would not align with your natural banking habits, then you risk burdening yourself with a new account or banking relationship that will make your finances more challenging.

— Bankrate Financial Analyst Stephen Kates, CFP

Checking account holders keep a checking account for an average of 19 years, according to Bankrate’s latest Checking Account Survey, while savings account holders have typically had the same account for 17 years. 
With that in mind, you have to do the math: Sometimes a high-yield savings account will end up being a better deal than a savings account bonus at a brick-and-mortar bank.

A real-life example

One major bank offered a $200 bonus for opening a new savings account and depositing $10,000. However, you’ll only earn up to 0.35% annual percentage yield (APY) — so after 10 years, you’ve earned just $363 plus the $200 bonus. Or you could deposit the same money in an account with a 2% APY but no bonus. After 10 years, Bankrate’s savings calculator shows that you will have earned more than $2,189 in interest — more than 10 times the value of a $200 sign-up bonus.
