BEST High Yield Savings Accounts in 2024!

[@JH48092]

I love Ally. One thing to mention.. you would NOT make less money if your money is split between multiple accounts assuming all the accounts have the same interest rate.

[@Hannahbenowitz]

Stashed away cash for a rainy day, but with inflation pouring down, it feels more like a leaky bucket. Saving for retirement seems impossible if my money keeps losing value faster than I can earn it.

[@JosephineKenney]

Not all hope is lost. Talk to a financial advisor about inflation-protected investments like TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) that can help your savings keep pace with inflation.

[@FinnBraylon]

Financial consultants can be inflation warriors! They can recommend investment options that outpace inflation, like real estate or certain stocks. A client of mine used this strategy and saw their savings account grow by 15% in just two years,effectively combating inflation's drag.

[@HildaBennet]

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this fiduciary??

[@FinnBraylon]

“ Sonya Lee Mitchell” is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@HildaBennet]

I copied her whole name and pasted it into my browser; her website appeared immediately, and her qualifications are excellent; thank you for sharing.

Get a HYSA for a emergency fund and then put the rest of the money in treasury. Tbills have higher interest and you don’t have to pay local state tax.

I have tried lot of high yield savings and I always go back to Ally Bank. Tried SOFI, but have decided to come back to Ally as my online bank. I do not have to worry about setting up a direct deposit in order to get the high rate in the savings, which you do with SOFI.

[@ChaimS]

I don't disagree, but you get that interest on your checking as well, which you don't with ally. You literally just have to direct deposit $1 to get the higher amount, and most businesses that you play with your direct deposit enough that you could easily do that.

[@johnhenderson7081]

I did decide to make my online bank with SOFI for now and just direct deposit 1% of my retirement into the checking in order to get the higher rate. Have set up my SOFI vaults and using them along with SOFI Invest. Going to try them at least through end of year and see how things go. Ally is a great online bank and have been around for many years. I am not going to close the checking and savings with them. Possibly will be moving some funds in Ally very soon. I never like to put all my eggs in one basket.

[@JennTheFrugalMom]

Capital one 360 is the best. I have alot of accounts 😊 and I love them

Agreed. I have tried a bunch of these banks and keep coming back to Cap One 360.

[@bfoster005]

Awesome video. I think this is an area most people overlook since rates have been so low for so long and the big banks haven't adjusted their savings rates.

[@MidlifeWithBee]

PNC Bank has a good HYSA at 4.65%. I still like the idea of being able to visit a brick and mortar bank if needed.

I just opened an account with Capital on January 1st 2024 because of there 4.35% interest rate on their savings account and the no minimum balance. I opened three accounts with them: an emergency fund, holiday savings and their checking account. My goal to have $10,000 saved for my emergency fund, open another savings account and call it my Future Savings Account for either a car, laptop computer or etc., and later on, open another savings account for Vacation.

I have a Capital One account and I like it except for 1 huge flaw they have. There is no 2-factor authentication to log in. I want a bank that uses an authenticator app. Much more secure than other 2-factor methods. For this reason alone, I am looking for a different high yield savings account.

[@alliebelle3298]

There is a scam going around where the scammers hijack your phone and then use the 2 factor authentication to access your accounts. Please look it up. Today the 2 factor authentication is very problematic. I opened accounts at a bank that offer lock down. no one cam transfer money in or out unless you authorize it. Check it out

[@factionjaxon4119]

Side note. Unless things have changed, most credit unions charge a monthly fee if you don't have income coming into the account regularly. I was in several CUs at once with direct deposit spread among them. Got laid off and they all started nailing me for $5 a month (possibly higher now). This was over 15 years ago though so you could lose close to almost a years interest in one month. They were not HYSAs.

[@chrisranes7964]

Does Ally automatically distribute funds into each monthly deposit made to the HYSA?

[@AminaCasazza]

Really where are investors putting their cash? Isn’t it crazy how mortgage rates continue to rise with higher imports and declining exports, but the FED is yet to lessen cost. Something will eventually break if they keep raising interest rates and quantitative tightening.

Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.

[@heidikamrath1951]

Like you: BofA “platinum.” Moved a lot of money over to raisin last summer when it was 5.25 (?)% and it just keeps going up. Each time the rates change, I get an email notification. Added a big check at Xmas time and deposited first into BofA. The teller wanted to know what I was going to do with the money. Huh? None of his business! But I told him I was going to move it to raisin as soon as it cleared. His eyebrows went up when I told him the interest rate. It did take a few days to clear both BofA and then raisin, so the same day stuff is just a dream for me. Meanwhile, my interest earnings are super exciting! Take THAT, BofA!

[@redscorpion9325]

Same,I was Platinum Tier but only earned $11 which is a joke so I moved all that money to High Interest Rate Bank,I feel like an idiot after all these years,In trying to tell a friend to do the same thing but he said he’s been with BOA for Decades,I guess its the Status thing and not knowing how much BOA is ripping him off,I say maybe keep BOA for quick ATM Cash for convenience but nothing more and have it linked to External Bank if you already have Direct Deposit through them and don’t want to set up Direct Deposit through another Bank because of the hassle
