Passbook Savings Account?

Do you know of any bank that still offers the traditional ''passbook savings account"" ? I mean the type that provides you a small book that you present everytime you are making a deposit or withdrawal...in person or by mail. They were great. It was like having your finances with you at all times.|||Downey Savings and World Savings I know for sure does.|||IDK|||If you have access to your computer, why in the world would you want to have a passbook for your acct. YOu can view your balance every single day online. Register with the bank and keep tract of it that way. Passbooks are way too cumbersome and too much work for the banks. Pssst, i think the machine they used to print them are obsolete now too. Good luck.


If my 78 yr. old mom can pay her bills and do her banking on line, I think you can manage it.|||My credit union does and even calls your dollar deposit shares. When they pay out interest twice a year they call it distributing dividends so alot of old time tradition in it. The first half of 2007 dividend on shares is 5.03%. They have the passbook which you present for deposits and withdrawals and record the transaction. You have to live within 75 miles of this credit union, although there might be one that operates like this in your area. I'd make some calls to the local credit unions and see what they have to offer.|||I do not. My bank still had the Savings Book up until about 5 years ago. When they contacted me that from now on I would get a statement in the mail, I cleaned out the account and just put it in a Money Market. Passbook savings rates are really low. You might try a hometown bank in a small town. They may still have the Passbook Accounts. I miss mine. There is something about looking in that little book that made me want to save money not spend it.
