I've been in Wealthfront for years as they pay generally the highest interest rates. Did just drop to 4% but you can bump it .25% or .5% with referrals.

Just stick it in a money market account like Fidelity's SPAXX

I played around with different HYSA and the money market always earns more. You can treat it just like a checking account and pay your bills out of it, credit cards, etc.

That works well. Their FDIC Sweep is good for interest-bearing, protected checking.

Inflation can slowly eat your dollars. You may want to consider this option if you want to maximize your potential earnings. Your cash is automatically held in a money market fund.

You may want to consider this option if you want additional protection. Your cash (up to $5 million) is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). We automatically place your cash in an account at one or more program banks.
