You don't need a lot of money to open a Kentucky Bank savings account, and if you make regular deposits you'll be amazed at how quickly your money grows.

A personal savings account is the perfect way to set aside money for a special purpose like buying a car or home appliances. Or use it to accumulate funds for a higher-yield money market account or certificate of deposit. This account is also a great way to start children out on the right financial foot.
