ADVERTISER DISCLOSURE

The listings that appear on this page are from companies from which this website

Bankrate does not endorse or recommend any companies.

High-yield savings accounts can be a great place to put money that you’re saving
and want to earn a competitive APY on, but you aren’t sure on the time horizon
for the money. Bankrate’s top high-yield savings offers pay much higher APYs
than the national average yield of 0.59 percent. Read more

Bankrate provides you with timely news and rate information on the top savings
yields from some of the most popular and largest Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
(FDIC)-insured banks and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)-insured
credit unions. This way you don’t have to spend time searching many bank and
credit union websites. Since 1976, Bankrate has been a trusted source of banking
information to help you make well-informed decisions on your finances.

The following accounts can be found at most banks and credit unions. They’re
federally insured for up to $250,000 and offer a safe place to put your money
while earning interest.

Certificate of Deposit (CD)

CDs are best for individuals looking for a guaranteed rate of return that’s
typically higher than a savings account. In exchange for a higher rate, funds
are tied up for a set period of time and early withdrawal penalties may apply.

Checking account

Checking accounts are best for individuals who want to keep their money safe
while still having easy, day-to-day access to their funds. ATM and other
transactional fees may apply.

Savings / Money Market Accounts (MMA)

Savings and MMAs are good options for individuals looking to save for
shorter-term goals. They’re a safe way to separate your savings from everyday
cash, but may require larger minimum balances and have transfer limitations.

POPULAR DIRECT

Rating: 4.8 stars out of 5

OVERVIEW

Popular Direct is known for offering competitive yields. But those competitive
yields have $100 minimum opening deposit requirements with the Popular Direct
High-Rise Savings account. (The minimum opening requirement is much higher for
its CDs.) The account also has a $25 fee for closing it within your first 180
days, so definitely make sure you’re going to keep this account for at least
that amount of time. Popular Direct has been around since 2016. It offers a
savings account and eight terms of CDs. The CDs have terms ranging from three
months to five years.

RECENT NEWS ON HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT RATES

Even though the Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate the same in July,
you can currently find savings accounts with yields greater than the rate of
inflation.

The Fed might cut rates only one time this year. That rate cut might reduce top
savings yields, but it’s likely not to be significant. It’s important to
remember that the Fed raised rates 11 times in the current rate cycle, and some
of those were large increases.

> Returns on savings accounts will likely remain at attractive levels for some
> time, with little change expected until the prospect of Fed rate cuts becomes
> clearer. — Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate chief financial analyst

While it’s easy to find a top-yielding account these days that beats inflation,
there are plenty of other savings accounts that earn uncompetitive rates. For
instance, the national average savings account rate as of Aug. 7, 2024, is just
0.59 percent APY, according to Bankrate’s most recent survey of banks. That
average factors in competitive rates commonly offered by online banks, as well
as rock-bottom rates often found at large brick-and-mortar banks.


 * HOW BANKRATE CALCULATES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
   
   Caret Down
   
   In June 2023, Bankrate updated its methodology that determines the national
   average savings account rates. More than 500 banks and credit unions are
   surveyed to generate weekly national averages. Among these institutions are
   those that are broadly available and offer high yields, as well as some of
   the nation’s largest banks.

BANKRATE INSIGHTS

Only 67 percent of Americans with short-term savings currently have an online
savings account that earns a competitive yield of 4 percent or greater,
Bankrate’s Online Savings Survey found.

 * Nearly 1 in 5 people (17 percent) with a savings account earn a rock-bottom
   rate of less than 1 percent.
 * Also, nearly 1 in 5 (17 percent) of savers indicated they aren’t earning any
   interest.


HOW TO CHOOSE AN ONLINE HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT

The top three factors to look for when choosing a high-yield savings account
are:


 * A COMPETITIVE YIELD

   You want to earn a competitive APY on your money. And in 2024 your money in a

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

High-yield savings accounts typically pay a much higher APY than traditional
savings accounts, providing savers the ability to earn more on their money while
still enjoying the security of a federally insured account. Traditional savings
accounts are commonly offered at brick-and-mortar banks and larger banks. These
accounts may yield close to nothing, often around 0.01 percent APY. High-yield
savings accounts can earn hundreds of times more these days.

Most high-yield savings accounts have a variable APY, which means the yield is
subject to change. Consumers looking for a guaranteed yield should consider a
certificate of deposit (CD), and a no-penalty CD might be a good option for
those who prefer both a fixed APY and access to their money without incurring a
penalty.

Savings accounts usually earn compound interest, which simply means you’ll earn
interest on interest. As such, you’ll earn interest on your principal as well as
the interest that accumulates over time.

Below are a few important features to consider when searching for a high-yield
savings account. When choosing which account is right for you, also take a look
at Bankrate’s expert reviews of popular banks, many of which offer high-interest
savings accounts.

Annual percentage yield (APY) APY incorporates the effect of compounding. Simply
stated, compound interest is the interest you earn on interest. You’ll earn
interest on your initial deposit as well as on the interest that accumulates
over time.
Minimum opening deposit required The amount you’ll need to open your account.
Minimum balance required The balance you’ll need to keep in your account to
avoid a monthly service fee.
Monthly maintenance fees The fee you’ll incur if your balance falls below the
minimum balance requirement in your account.

WHO SHOULD GET AN ONLINE HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT?

A high-yield savings account is ideal for someone who’s currently earning low
interest on their savings account – or no interest at all – and is eager to
boost their savings potential. 

A good time to get a savings account is when: 

 * You’re not earning any interest – or you’re earning a low APY – in your
   current bank account.
 * You don’t have an emergency fund, or you have your emergency fund commingled
   with your checking account at a brick-and-mortar bank.

High-yield savings accounts with no minimum opening deposit requirement, no
minimum balance requirement and no monthly service fees can be a good choice for
nearly anyone. People can have different money-related goals and be at different
stages in their financial life and benefit from these accounts. Here are a few
examples:

Mortgage
Future homebuyers

A high-yield savings account is a great way to ensure your down payment money
will grow until you need it to buy a house, condo or apartment. And unlike most
CDs, you can add to your balance at any time.

Retirement
Jetsetters and road-trippers

A good strategy when saving for your next vacation is to determine how much
you’ll need for the trip and then open a dedicated savings account for it.
Consider automating your savings to keep your savings goals on track. 

Congrats
Soon-to-be married couples

A high-yield savings account allows you to earn a competitive yield on your
balance as you save for your wedding. You can keep adding to this account all
the way up until you say “I do.” Having a separate account devoted to wedding
savings can help you monitor your progress more easily, which helps you meet
your savings goals for the big day.

 * HOW MUCH INTEREST CAN I EARN ON $10,000 AFTER A YEAR IN A HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS
   ACCOUNT?
   
   Caret Down
   
   You can earn $500 of interest if the $10,000 you stash in a savings account
   earns 4.85 percent APY in a year. Savings APYs are generally variable, so
   you’d only earn $485 if the APY remains at 4.85 percent APY for the whole
   year, and you keep your money in your account.

 * WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM UNABLE TO OPEN A HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT?
   
   Caret Down
   
   If you’re unsuccessful in opening a new account, you can ask the bank why
   this happened. Depending on the answer, you might want to go to ChexSystems’
   website and request a report to see whether your banking history is the
   reason you were denied the account.

 * HOW OFTEN DO SAVINGS RATES CHANGE?
   
   Caret Down
   
   Competitive banks and credit unions have a tendency to adjust their interest
   rates based on the Federal Reserve’s rate moves. 
   
   Unlike CD rates, which are locked for a set term, savings account yields tend
   to be variable, which means they could change at any time.
   
   A bank may decide to lower or raise savings account APYs for various reasons.
   It may increase its rate as part of a promotion to attract more deposits, or
   it may adjust rates in response to broader economic factors, such as changes
   to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve.

 * HOW OFTEN CAN I TAKE MONEY OUT OF A HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT?
   
   Caret Down
   
   Most banks limit the number of times you can withdraw money from a savings
   account. Check with your bank to see its policy so that you’re not charged an
   excessive transfer fee. A bank could even close your account for excessive
   transactions.
   
   Checking accounts are meant to have frequent withdrawals for spending money
   and paying bills. But savings accounts are generally meant for accumulating
   money, those accounts are generally liquid.

 * DO I PAY TAXES ON INTEREST EARNED IN A HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT?
   
   Caret Down
   
   The IRS specifically says that interest earned on bank accounts is taxable
   interest. Interest is usually taxed as ordinary income. All interest income
   is taxable, even if it’s not reported on a Form 1099-INT. That form is
   usually generated toward the beginning of the calendar year, after you’ve
   earned more than $10 in interest during the previous tax year.

 * WHY ARE MOST HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS ONLINE?
   
   Caret Down
   
   The best high-interest savings accounts are usually found online. The best
   online banks tend to offer the most competitive yields on their accounts. One
   reason why these banks can pay more is that they have fewer expenses since
   they don’t operate branches.
   
   But these online banks also need a way to get your attention. Often, a high
   yield is the way to do that. Many online banks also don’t charge a monthly
   service fee for their accounts, and some of them don’t have minimum balance
   or minimum opening deposit requirements either.
