Mine almost doubled this month and is at 4.35%. It was at .25% in the summer. Anyone else's do anything similar?

My account is at MySavingsDirect.com.

I'm transitioning to Sofi, at least partially and briefly.

Checking is 1.2%, but 2.5% if you set up direct deposit.

Savings is 1.2%, but 3.5% if you set up direct deposit with a $250 cash reward if the direct deposits amount to $5000 or more.

I mainly bank with Hancock Whitney but seems silly to stick there when I can gain more interest with Sofi, get a reward, and easily move money back and forth to keep from having to stop any auto withdrawals (if I decide not to just switch them over to Sofi).

Why would you make this thread without giving out the name of your bank?

It's gotta be a credit union or something.

4.35% seems too high.

I switched to Capital One Performance savings from recommendations of this board. It’s getting 3.30 right now. Almost to the almighty three fifty

Same lol. It seems to have been a good time to make that switch.

I'll do that instead of Sofi. I had forgotten about Capital One, and just suggested that to someone else recently. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. I have Capital One and didn’t even know about it. Just signed up for an account.

I think Synchrony High Yield Savings account was around ~3.6% last time I checked.

This is stupid I know but what are the down sides to a high yield account? Like if I have an emergency fund just hanging out earning shite in a savings account, is it a no brainer to put it in a high yield
