IDK. Some people have to hold back big amounts for quarterly taxes.

AMX is really easy. Down to 3.6%. Capital One also 3.6% as well. AMX gets you your money more quickly .

We own a business and pay quarterly taxes. $50,000 over 4 months at a 5% gets you $833 and that is only if you had the $50,000 persisting the entire time. Paying out taxes depletes the account.

How much are you talking about stashing in a savings for taxes?

I use Marcus as well and was pretty irritated to get that email this week about the reduction in the rate.

I did a search and see PNC is offering 3.9% for new customers and SOFI is offering 3.8%. Not sure that's enough to move the needle for me to jump ship.

Several other similar institutions have dropped to the 3.6 - 3.65% range, which has been mentioned on here. Ex. - Capital One.

If anyone has a reputable bank that's offering north of 3.9% please let me know.

Quarterly taxes exactly. The rates from AMX and Cap 1 have come down steadily. Was in the 4.0-4.3 range not that long ago.

Where are you getting 4.4 for CIT? I see 4.1

Openbank has been fine although the transfers are a bit slow

I mean, obviously that depends on the person but I know people with huge quarterly tax bills. Those kind of people have reasons to save up a couple hundred thousand dollars in cash at one moment.

That could make sense for having liquidity on hand for the lean times of waiting for payments to arrive. You have to pay salaries and bills, regardless if you are getting paid. We use a revolving line of credit.

If they want to persist a fund of $200,000 for those times, 3% gets you and extra $6,000 in interest and 5% gets you $10,000 over a year. I sure as hell would not go through the hassle of moving $200,000 to net a possible $4,000 extra when the rates could change again.

$200,000 in taxes would mean you also had a net income of around $1,000,000, that is excluding state taxes.

Rising bond yields will make the price of SPHY go down. When yields rise, prices fall.
