High Yield Savings/Checking accounts?

[jeromedawg]

Hi guys,

Any recommendations on high yield savings or checking accounts to keep larger chunks of funds? We have "downpayment" money sitting in our Chase account, which yields a measly .05%

I do have an account with Synchrony (currently at .50%) so wondering if I should just dump more into that or if I should go another route. I also have an investing account with Axos and saw their their rates for a savings account are at .61%

I am sitting at .50 (Discover), interested to hear other options.

Thanks, I was looking at that site. I was unsure about many of the ones that are above .50 though... I don't recognize or am not familiar with most of those banks. Do any of you have accounts with those? I went ahead and opened a TMO account but am not so sure now - seems like they're changing the rules on it to require 10 transactions per month to qualify for the 4%. The details are a bit fuzzy but I may put some $$$ in there just to see (nm...my plan is not a postpaid - it's one of the free 200mb data/internet plans. They can see that and are asking if I want to upgrade to get the 4% haha. Not sure if I'd qualify for the 1% though, and if there's a cap to that as well)

Posting here to follow. Am wondering the same thing. I haven't heard of most of those other than Ally and my current one, FNBODirect. Thinking I can do a little better than .4%!

I have never had a problem with an account at a bank I had never heard of that I found on the DoC (or similar) website.  Read the comments on DoC, do some basic research on the bank, and make sure to understand all the fee and restrictions first.

I'm considering signing up for the T-Mobile account as a place to stash the proceeds from selling my house.  The FAQs say the 1% is for everyone, and no cap that I saw.
