Best Basic Savings Rates
Leaving money in a regular bank account will usually get you a terrible interest rate. With a little research, we can find accounts that offer competitive rates. These are all ordinary savings accounts with no hoops to jump through, and they are FDIC/NCUA insured up to $250,000.
Please verify insured status for yourself with FDIC and with NCUA before using a bank or credit union. Also please read this article about the FDIC insurance on fintech banks as well.

All of these rates will fluctuate over time, and we’re constantly updating this list. There is an advantage to a bank who has a proven track record of giving good interest rates since some of the top rates might be ‘bait-and-switch’ soon to be lowered. Banks like CFG, CIT, Discover, Marcus, Ally and some others have been known to offer competitive interest rates for many years. Their rates will also fluctuate but will likely always be a good rate. See also What’s The Best Simple High-Yield Savings Account?
Another thing to keep in mind is that while most banks automatically increase your rate as interest rates increase, some don’t. We wrote data points on which do and which don’t here. Keep that in mind when choosing a bank.
Most of these are savings accounts, with a few checking accounts mixed in. We wrote about options for getting a high yield on your checking account in this post.

Requirement High-Interest (Nationwide)
Aside from basic accounts offering competitive interest rates, there are ultra high-yield options which are more involved and take time and patience to deal with. Bear in mind, all of the best options have velocity limits, sometimes it’s $5k, $10k, $15k, or $20k. You’ll never be netting more than $1,000 in annual interest from any of these accounts, and it’s usually much less than that. Someone who is impatient or doesn’t have spare time would best use a standard high-interest savings account options and forget about the velocity-limited accounts.

Brilliant Bank is 4.35% APY on money market account.
Anyone have good or bad experience with climate first? I’m thinking of trying them now that they have drastically lowered minimum opening deposit…
I was happy with them. I had their checking when it was 5% or more. I recently closed it only because it’s rate dropped to 4%. Also, had a flex CD there when it’s rate was 5%+. Their new savings rate is good but, for me, I’m using rewards checking accounts to get 5%. Like, anywhere, they could drop the rate at any time.
Do funds “On Hold” at LendingClub become available at 12:00am ET on the “Available” date? I haven’t done any pulls in a while and forgot to keep records…
Yes
Looks like targeted Amex HYSA offer is back. $400 cash bonus after you deposit $25,000 or more into a new Amex HYSA account by 9/13/25. Funds must be deposited within the first 30 days of account opening and maintained for 60 days.
Did it come via email?
I got this offer by email.
Yep, email for me. If it’s like the checking offer, it might also show up in the app for some people.
I got the offer when log into my AMEX account.
Customers Bank Max Savings Account interest rate was increased from 4.13% APY to 4.21% APY. (This account must be opened via MaxMyInterest service, of course.)
Thank you! Finally slightly more than LCB. I keep some emergency money in LCB that can now move over to Customers.
The 4.0% rate listed for Canopy Credit Union is the cash back rate on up to $300 in purchases each month. The interest rate for the credit union’s High Dividend checking account is currently 6.17%!
Reps claimed ACH limit is $2k per day and $6k per month for CUNJ so be careful if you’d ever need to send $ out of the account
Updated, thanks all (update #164)
Any of these take funding with Amex?
What about brokered CDs in Merrill. Terms and conditions say they are volatile. Why would a CD be volatile? Had anyone used it?
They can be volatile because the changes in fed interest rate. Those CDs can be sold and bought as an alternative to lending money to the government. When the government offers a better interest rate than your marketable CD, you too want to get rid of it and invest in treasuries.
If held to maturity doesn’t matter. But as Arthur said, there is interest rate risk.
