Sounds too good to be true. Anyone have any experience with this bank? This is that crazy high rate for a liquid account. Applies to both savings and checking accounts below.

But CFG Bank has limits according to their website:
Once funding occurs the daily external transfer limit for the CFG High Yield Money Market Account is $5,000. Your external transfers may not exceed $30,000 in a 30-day rolling period.
I'm getting tired of moving my money around chasing the APY. They should be coming up again after tomorrow's FED meeting too.
Nope, usually paid out within a few business days.

FDIC official website has a section for concernicus folks like you specifically:

Haha. They actually did this right now before the meeting to beat other banks to it. The rate is based on the almost 1 bp they are raising.

Just had a lengthy conversation with them and they do seem legit. Asked many questions as well. They have branches as well.

Would expect to see 3% or higher CD's but they offer less than 2.0% rates on 18-24months so would love to see prior rates at this bank for checking/savings..

https://digital.primisbank.com/br...rsonal/CDA

Would bet they will lower the 5% soon.

"This isn't just talk – we are developing programs and supporting organizations – like the Forward Foundation and Human Kind – that provide more than a hand out or even a hand up. Instead, Primis is offering a foundation on which women and girls can build their future."

I saw a similar episode of Seinfeld.... the Human Fund.

But it does mean if they collapse you will get your money back from Uncle Sam (up to the limit ofc).
