I currently have .01%.

How do I qualify for something much higher? Is there anything I should be aware of before going in?

Make sure you’re not paying any fees.

The Apple Savings Account through Goldman Sachs is currently at 4.15%. It's super easy to move money in and out with no limits.

4.15% with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. It's easy to open an account online.

It was hard for me to leave a bank I had been with for decades but having hundreds of thousands doing squat and seeing rates rise forced my hand. Sucks having to shuffle finds around like you are shopping the best streaming service but that’s the current climate.

Go to Investopedia.com and look at the highest paying banks out there. They are all online banks. I was getting .01% at USAA and had never even looked at it until one day I did and got out of that quickly. Currently at UFBDirect getting 5.02% APY, but they are at 4.81% APY now but grandfathered me. No fees, no minimum deposit to start, and they also have an ATM card. And FDIC insured. There are other banks out there just as good and some paying more. Not many reasons to stay at .01% for sure. Good luck. BTW, most will have some funky rules but once you figure them out banking there is easy.
