Interest Savings Accounts
Deposit it, leave it, and watch it grow! Our Interest Savings Account can help you build your savings all on its own. Like magic! These accounts have easy, automatic savings – fueled by our Interest Checking Account interest and your Interest Checking ATM fee refunds. That means you’ll watch more of your money grow!
Interest Savings Accounts work together with your Interest Checking Account. During each qualification cycle, the interest and ATM refunds you earn from your Interest Checking Account are automatically transferred to your Interest Savings Account where it earns interest again.
Plus, even if you don't qualify, there's nothing to worry about.
Your Interest Checking Account will earn our base rate of interest on both your checking & savings account. You can get back to earning the higher rate of interest and ATM fee refunds* the very next qualification cycle!
There are no extra qualifications for the Interest Savings Account. You automatically receive the highest rate when you meet the qualifications in your Interest Checking. This is super simple. Just do the following each month:
-
Have at least 12 Gulf Coast Bank & Trust issued debit card transactions post and settle during the monthly qualification cycle.
-
Have at least one Automatic Payment (ACH), Direct Deposit or Online Bill Payment post and settle during the monthly qualification cycle.
Apply Online or visit a branch location today to apply.
Available for Personal Accounts only. Limit one account per Social Security number. See Banker for more Details.
*Fees incurred from ATM Withdrawals made from your Interest Savings Account will NOT be refunded.

Health Savings Accounts
A Health Savings Account, or HSA, can help you make rising healthcare costs much more manageable. These accounts are used in conjunction with high-deductible health insurance plans. You can more easily plan for expected and unexpected health costs and prevent a surprise expense from happening.
Eligible Health Savings Account holders are already participating in a high-deductible health plan. As part of this plan, you’ll pay as you go for medical expenses until you have met your health plan’s deductible. When you have reached the deductible, your health plan will pay for the majority of healthcare for that year.
Saving funds in a Health Savings Account can help you plan for out-of-pocket medical costs and have a financial buffer when you need it.
Call 985-249-7264 or email KenFernandez@gulfbank.com* for more information and to see if you qualify for a Health Savings Account.
*Don't email personal or financial information. Email is not a secure method of transmitting personal information.
