Safest place to park 90k

I recently sold a property and need to put the money somewhere that I would have easy access if I need it to purchase another within a few months.  I've been researching different high interest savings accounts so I am thinking this would be my best option. I can't risk losing the money and I wont necessarily be holding onto it long enough to invest anywhere that I may have ups and downs. As a result, I was thinking I would open an account at either CIT or Ally and just transfer the money there to sit.   Does anyone have any other suggestions that I should look into?  Or does anyone recommend a different financial institution? 

Thanks everyone!

I'm happy with my Ally account.

Barclays is technically higher yield right now (1.5% vs. Ally's 1.45%). Folks here have had good experiences with Ally but I will toss in that I have had good experiences with Barclays as well.

I've noticed that Marcus, the consumer bank from Goldman, has some competitive savings rates as well.

If you know when you'll need the money, consider using a CD. I had some cash a while back with a specific date where I needed it, and used my taxable Fidelity account to buy a CD. They basically broker it for you, and you can filter through thousands of different options to meet your needs. Just make sure you choose one that's FDIC insured.

CIT is pretty solid for savings accounts.  I have used Ally, Capital one, Discover and Barclays as well.  CIT has best rate currently among this group (1.55%) for savings.  you can also do a 11mo no penalty CD for 1.85% that will suit your needs
