Comerica Bank personal and business customers have access to a limited number of savings account options. Here are the two accounts available:
Comerica Bank currently offers several personal and business checking accounts with little to no opening balance requirements, and relatively low monthly service charges. The accounts offered are excellent for day-to-day use but unfortunately, offer very low yields.
A money market account is a hybrid between a savings account and a checking account. It is an interest-bearing account that offers a debit card and check-writing privileges. The drawback is that, much like savings accounts, there are usually withdrawal limits imposed. Here are some of the best money market accounts offered by Comerica Bank:

Comerica Bank is a good regional bank for people living in Texas, Michigan, Arizona, Florida, and California. It offers a fair amount of branches, currently at a bit more than 400 branches. It offers highly competitive rates on some of its short-term CDs and one of its money market accounts, although the money market account requires a relatively high account balance. All in all, the bank is okay, but there are larger national banks that offer a higher number of branches in the same states with similar product offerings.
