UPDATE: Cornerstone Bank has merged with Coastal States Bank.
Cornerstone Bank of Georgia typically has sign-up bonuses for their Checking and Savings accounts that can range from $100 to $300. We’ll keep this page updated with the latest offers.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and established in 2001, Cornerstone Bank has a small footprint with just 3 branches in the area as of 2017.
While they do offer Money Market and CD accounts, we recommend such accounts from online banks that have much better rates. See our CD rates page and Money Market rates page for better options.
Below are the latest offers.
