LucasHi, I’m interested in opening a new savings account. Could you tell me about your account options?
SophiaCertainly, Lucas. We offer several savings accounts. Our standard account has no monthly fees and offers online banking options.
LucasThat sounds good. What about interest rates?
SophiaThe standard savings account has an annual interest rate of 1.2%. We also have a high-yield account with a 2.0% rate, but it requires a minimum balance of $5,000.
LucasI see. Are there any additional benefits with these accounts?
SophiaBoth accounts give you access to our mobile app for easy management and also include a free debit card.
LucasWhat about overdraft protection? Is that included?
SophiaOverdraft protection is available. It can be linked to your checking account to cover any accidental overdrafts.
LucasThat would be helpful. Can I also set up direct deposit with these accounts?
SophiaYes, you can. In fact, setting up a direct deposit can waive any potential fees on checking accounts.
LucasGreat. I think I'll go with the standard savings account for now. What do I need to open the account?
SophiaYou'll need an ID, social security number, and an initial deposit of $100. I can help you set it up right now if you're ready.
LucasPerfect, I have everything with me. Let's set it up.
SophiaGreat, I'll just need a few minutes to prepare the paperwork.
