Health Professionals Bank is a division of Teachers Mutual Bank founded in 2019 solely focused on health professionals and their families.

They offer health professionals low interest rates and even special offers at times which can be better than what the major banks are offering.

You will need to be a member to qualify for their offers though, and not everyone is eligible to join.

However, even if you’re a health professional, it’s wise to compare their products with other lenders because other lenders may have a better offer for your situation.
