Albert checking accounts at a glance

Albert is an online financial service, not a traditional bank. Still, deposits are FDIC-insured — and Albert has a feature than can help you manage your money across multiple bank accounts and track your spending and bills.

Does Albert give you money?

You have the potential to earn cash-back rewards on certain purchases with your Albert debit card. For example, you may get money back when you use your card to buy groceries, coffee or gas at certain places.

Keep in mind that, if available, you’ll have to activate this feature and you can only choose one offer at a time.
