Thanks Rob for doing all this research! I've chased the high yielders--at one point Marcus was the highest, then Barclays, and then CIBC. I kept opening new accounts and transferring money out of one into the other. I think the high-yielders generally are so because they are generally new and unheard of--and they are trying to collect capital. Once they've met their targets--the rate goes lower. Sometimes that can be a year and then someone else takes the lead.
Rob, what pays more interest per month: High yield savings account of 3.75% or a money market 7day yield of 4.85% ? I’m confused on the 7day yield. Thank you
Great Video Rob. CIT bank platinum savings rate is excellent. They also have a no penalty 11 month CD at 4.8%. All the banks you mentioned are all FDIC insured so risk free. 🤞🤞
@@tylerwbrown8663% of USA citizens have less than $1000 in savings…there’s $75 Billion in currency circulation, without counting daily printing. Nobody needs paper to pay for almost anything anymore. Take into consideration that the people most likely to make a run on the banks are the folks within said 63%….safe to say you can take your tin foil hat and clown shoes off.
Think you ought to comment on the ratings of some of these banks. I applied for an account at one bank and I had to quit because they were so terrible simply in the application process.
We currently have our emergency fund with Bask bank who just increased their apy to 4.65%. Not quite as good as those on the list, but there wasn't any minimum requirements and whatnot
Can’t wait for your I Bond video. I’m making a decision on that Friday. Either a 5% 18 month CD at ALLY (assuming it’s still available then) or an I Bond is how I’m leaning.
If your goal is short term then the CD will most likely be the better choice as the I-Bond rates are likely to fall. If you are thinking more long term then I would wait to see what the next I-Bond fixed rate is and likely more than the current 0.4%. While you wait you can always get a 3 or 6 month T-Bill.
Savebetter is 4.85% this morning. I also purchased 17 week T-bills. The rate is about 4.9% but I see a big advantage in that I don't have to pay state and LA local taxes on the interest.That could be a big tax saving
Thanks for the info, very interesting. Is there a way to find the historical rates for a savings account? For example, how often have ufb Direct changed their rates?
Hi Great videos backed by a ton of research. My question is this: If I can get 5% on a savings account why would I want to consider a cd of 6mnth or 1 yr or even longer? When they are around 5% also? Is it because that rate of return would be guaranteed for that term? And if rates are falling for the future it would then make sense to have the money locked in? Going into retirement we are thinking we need 3 years of cash or near cash available just incase the equity markets collapse. In fact if the market is looking jittery as it did in 2021 before the recent collapse we would likely up our cash reserve to 5 years in order to protect it by waiting out a collapse and subsequent rebound.
Because HYSA rates can change at any time. That’s the problem with chasing these rates. CDs will guarantee a rate for a specific period - at the opportunity cost of locking up your liquidity for that same period.
Thanks for the video. Would be nice to have best rates for combined cd and savings together. Seems an offering has a high savings but lower cds. I would be attracted to a high cd rate which I can transfer to a high yield savings account. Possibly if your team could build would be great.
I Didn’t see PNC 4.3%APY on your list. They only offer it on the High yield savings online account and only in the states they have brick and mortar banks.
I'm curious if these banks offer consistently high yields over the years. I would prefer something consistently high over having the highest to avoid having to move money all the time.
I've been with UFB for a few months. Just not going to move around for a few basis points if someone pays a better rate. Tired of my regional bank paying 0.01%, moved all but $100 to UFB.

Thanks Rob for detailed research and sharing information with us.. Huntington bank offers Relationship Money Market account with promo rate of 5.12% APY guaranteed for 12 months (with min deposit of $25K).. What would you recommend Rob?
It is only 5% if you pay for their premium app. I haven't budgeted it out to see if its worth the price for the high yield though, it could potentially still be a good option.
Hi Rob, First time seeing your channel and I appreciate the informative content, however please also let your 118k subscribers know about the reviews as well. Yes the company with 5.02% rate seems great but when I did a google review it was AWFUL and PAINFUL to see what some of the customers are encountering. One called them a SCAM. I'm not sure if you are getting any incentives to promote any one particular bank or institution, but SAVER BEWARE, the reviews on UFB Direct leaves me a bit weary to say the least.
I found the same thing! Lots of complaints out there about UFB Direct, most stating that customer service is abysmal, sign up process is a hassle, and some felt like their money was stuck in limbo - with no help from the bank. I'll take a slightly lower APY for a better customer experience. I'd love to see a comparison video with service/reviews factored in.
I'm suspicious of any of these obscure banks that claim these high interest rates. Look at all the major banks that offer HYSA's, and then there is a handful of obscure, online banks that beat them by .5% or more. I always ask myself, what is the catch? I feel better keeping my cash in an established, well known institution. I personally use Marcus. It's not the best rate out there, but Goldman Sachs is an institution. I have no doubt everything is legit, and their app is simple and to the point. I'm not switching for less than 1%.
I can't help but wonder how long the advertised rate remains in place before they drop the rate, making it a kind of teaser rate? And of course someone else will likely come out with a better deal at some point.I remember a time when we thought that we were only getting 5% at local brick and mortar banks. It sure sounds good these days!
Fidelity and Vanguard offer rates in the 4.75% ranges with no hassles. Let's stop back in 3 months and see if they are still higher or if it was a teaser rate. If you had $100k is it worth monkeying around at these banks and credit unions? I don't think so.
I know that SoFi isn't a big bank yet but having 2M of FDIC insurance at 4% APY savings with direct deposit set up is really good in my opinion. They striving to get your money right not like all these other banks.
I opened a 14 month CD at our primary bank with an APR of 5.0%, FDIC insured of course. Why don’t you mention CDs and talk about I bonds at the end of you video? Thank you for this great information.
i recently learned about Consumer's creddit union checking account with 5% apy on up to 10k with a few coonditions. have you heard about them? think they are trustworthy or did i misunderstand their termms? Please let me know what you think, I am seriously cnsidering them
I would think that Citi, with their Accelerate Savings account, would count as a "big bank" that's not giving super low rates? They are currently giving 3.85%, which is higher than 4 of the 5 "big banks" you mentioned.
Steve H I've been a Citi CC customer since 2016, putting through about $25,000 charges a year. Last June I did two ACH transfers into their high interest savings account from a mid sized US based bank. Citi marked my new savings account deposits as fraudulent and would not discuss it over the phone. And shut down all online access to even my credit cards. They wanted me to come into a branch to validate my identity. The closest branch was 500 miles away. I googled my error code and found it is common for Citi to do this. It took until Feb 2023 for me to get my money back with the help from the US based regional bank. I will never use Citi again!
If we are being honest with ourselves, taxes may be a major pain, just like they are for the wealthy. Taxes on income, goods and services, real estate, etc. It's wonderful to pay taxes, but we may also establish our own tax havens. Since stock market appreciation is not taxed, I personally invest most of my money there.
I knw times are uncertain. I and my spouse are wrking on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figs each load/ed up for this, you think we can do it in 5 yrs at most? I'm nearly 55.
I don't see BoC dropping rates even if inflation get's to it's 2% target's or even lower, when BoC did pause home buyer jump into the market faster then supply could keep up making home not only rise but jump in price and bidding, also keeping rates high let's banks and lenders have very high profits do to many home owner paying interest only mortgage payments and adding to they balance for years to come

I wonder about the health of these institutions. Have you done a video on how to determine this? Why are these institutions offering CD rates. Are they over-extended?
Even HYSA's pay interest rates below inflation, so compared to normal savings accounts you lose your money slower. Personally I consider Gold a better place for my savings.
HSBC is offering 4% if you have a relationship with them. Need to direct deposit at least $5k per month to qualify. But, the account has some nice features.
Betterment offers 4.85 no fee no minimum and unlimited deposits and withdraws via ach. So if you need your money may take 24-48 hours only con I can think of
I’d compare no-penalty CD rates with the online savings. Would stink to open a new savings account just to have the bank drop the rate whenever they feel like it.
Right now the best no-penalty rate I know of is 4.80% via Savebetter. It's for a 12-month CD, so you are guaranteed that rate even if savings rates end up falling. www.allcards.com/best-no-penalty-cd-rates/
Savings account rates can change at any time. A very good point. If you want a guaranteed rate for a specific period of time, bonds and CDs are a better option.
Ally does but CITI makes you fill out a form that needs notarized before you send it back (how annoying). Hence I left CITI for that reason. Ally you do it all inside your account online. I love ALLY!
Evergreen Bank Group is providing HYSA at 5.25% APY and no minimum balance to maintain. where as UFB direct needs 5K balance to receive the same 5.25% APY other wise 0.25% APY as of now.
These accounts are not FDIC insured. What you are talking about are money market funds, not accounts. I personally like them currently. They are stable, relatively safe, and adjust daily. No need to constantly switch banks. They are not FDIC insured thou....they are investment vehicles.
@@jblondin1980 I mean your not going to loose money in Vanguard's money market fund unless the us defaults on debts and if that happens we will have much bigger problems. Look what just happened to credit suisse and frc. Not saying all banks are not safe I think most are but like Warren buffet said today we are very likely to see more bank failures in the near future.
@@simondejonge3486 like I said, I like the fund...but saying "your not going to lose money" is foolish. You have to read the fund documentation, and understand what you are buying...most people looking for savings accounts want the insurance.
@@jblondin1980 Yea I didn't say you couldn't loose money. Both a savings account at a regional bank and a money market fund have a risk to them both small. But in my opinion the odds of the U.S defaulting on debt is much lower than a small regional bank failing. I personally feel more comfortable with something invested in government securities, rather than a private bank doing who knows what with money.

Bank Of America ML offers a FDIC insured deposit that yield 4.5%, minimun 100k deposit, daily withdrawals allowed
That's what I have...
I cannot find the BofA you mention anywhere. Do you have a link?
Which BofA/ML Account is this? I am not aware of it and cant find anything close to that yield
It's called Preferred deposit. A Merrill Lynch product. Minimum 100k to start. 4.5% currently. Will fluctuate up and down with Fed funds rate.
@@heathmower9396 thanks
Do these accounts allow you to add a beneficiary when signing up for a new account online?
Ally does but CITI makes you fill out a form that needs notarized before you send it back (how annoying). Hence I left CITI for that reason. Ally you do it all inside your account online. I love ALLY!
You are wrong, I've been getting 3.85 from CITI for some time now. Check out thier accelerate savings account.
UFB customer support sounds sketch! called to ask some questions and their support team is not very reassuring
Evergreen Bank Group is providing HYSA at 5.25% APY and no minimum balance to maintain. where as UFB direct needs 5K balance to receive the same 5.25% APY other wise 0.25% APY as of now.
What do you think about Vanguard's money market account with the yield at 4.8 percent. Plus you don't have to worry about a bank crashing.
These accounts are not FDIC insured. What you are talking about are money market funds, not accounts. I personally like them currently. They are stable, relatively safe, and adjust daily. No need to constantly switch banks. They are not FDIC insured thou....they are investment vehicles.
@@jblondin1980 I mean your not going to loose money in Vanguard's money market fund unless the us defaults on debts and if that happens we will have much bigger problems. Look what just happened to credit suisse and frc. Not saying all banks are not safe I think most are but like Warren buffet said today we are very likely to see more bank failures in the near future.
@@simondejonge3486 like I said, I like the fund...but saying "your not going to lose money" is foolish. You have to read the fund documentation, and understand what you are buying...most people looking for savings accounts want the insurance.
@@jblondin1980 Yea I didn't say you couldn't loose money. Both a savings account at a regional bank and a money market fund have a risk to them both small. But in my opinion the odds of the U.S defaulting on debt is much lower than a small regional bank failing. I personally feel more comfortable with something invested in government securities, rather than a private bank doing who knows what with money.
Vanguard is paying 4.50% on their saving account
