Our verdict
Effinity bank suits US business owners and freelancers who keep a working balance and want bank-grade deposit protection. Interest is variable, $15 of ATM withdrawals are free and transfers cost nothing, but the $10 monthly fee makes it a poor fit for occasional use.

Pros and cons
Pros

- Deposits carry FDIC up to USD 250,000 protection and the bank is supervised in the US
Cons
- A $10 monthly fee applies, well above the €0 site median
- An excessive withdrawal fee is charged per debit transaction beyond the permitted number, and access needs a $1,000 minimum daily balance

- Freelancers and sole traders wanting a US bank account with a variable rate

- Skrill, at €0 monthly, for a lighter account with no balance-based withdrawal charge

Frequently asked questions
What does Effinity bank charge each month?+
The easy-access account carries a monthly fee of $10. That is well above the €0 site median, so the account is priced for customers who keep a balance and use it regularly rather than occasionally.
How is my money protected at Effinity bank?+
Deposits are covered by the FDIC up to USD 250,000 through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The bank holds a US licence, and the FDIC is the US regulator named in the licence, which means your balance sits with a supervised institution rather than an intermediary.
What interest do I earn on an Effinity bank account?+
Interest is variable and earned on the entire balance above a $1,000 minimum daily balance, not just on a fixed-term portion. Because the rate type is variable, the amount you earn can shift with rates, and a easy access account is designed for access rather than locking money away.
Are ATM withdrawals free with Effinity bank?+
Yes, the free ATM feature is included and the allowance is $15 in free withdrawals. The email, phone and help centre mean help is available if a card or machine behaves unexpectedly, though an excessive withdrawal fee applies to debit transactions beyond the permitted number.
What do transfers cost at Effinity bank?+
External account transfers are free, as are person-to-person payments. The account is easy access, so money moves in and out without a notice period, and us ach covers how the account is set up for US payments.
Who is an Effinity bank account built for?+
The account is aimed at business customers, so it suits owners, freelancers and sole traders in the US who want banking services with a variable rate and a $1,000 minimum daily balance. For personal spending with no balance requirement, a lower cost account elsewhere fits better.
How do I get help from Effinity bank?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering email, phone and a help centre. There is no chat or community option, so complex questions go through email or the phone line rather than an instant messaging channel.
