In a rising interest rate environment (Feds still saying they can/will raise), the savings interest rate will tend to rise. So CD will be worse, locking in a lower interest rate (I have been caught in that) while a savings rate will follow the rise to be competitive for your money. I mainly now just buy Treasury bills for short terms. Those interest rates vary with each auction, but the 13week/17week ones have been over 5%. And they are backed by the credit of the USA.

If you think the feds are going to start drastically cutting interest rates shortly, then is the time to get longer term CDs to lockin the current high rates.

I have been a CIT customer for a while. They have one of the fastest ACH deliveries (1-2 days) & have really high transfer limits (6 digit) where most other banks have quite low limits. This is their biggest unadvertised feature, I can reliably get/move my money fast. And their savings rates, tho not the highest like CFG, is quite competitive. They are my main go-to online savings bank.

FWIW, we went with CIT a few months ago and have been very happy. Good deal.

I opened a CIT Savings builder years ago, but then the interest rate cratered. I called them and they opened a Savings Connect account and transferred my funds into it. Currently it's ~4.5%. Now I have to open a third kind of account with them to get this rate? I'm really tired of chasing rates.

I'm using them for the Savings Connect account and I really appreciate the straightforward and minimal interface on their website.

For existing account holders will they increase the amount automatically or is it one of those banks that you have to keep a CLOSE eye on them?

YMMV: I found them difficult to deal with.
I currently do not have a banking relationship with CIT.

I've only been with them for a month and a half, and they did automatically increase it from 4.75 to 4.85 for me. Haven't seen the 4.85 to 4.95 bump yet, but I'm guessing it will take a few days.

What are their restrictions for withdrawing?

I know some set a max per day/month in the fine print.

They are the type of bank that will create new accounts with a new name to get the higher rates and existing accounts will be stuck with the old rate. They don't do it with every rate increase, but occasionally. It's trivial to create a new account and transfer your money over to the new account, but you do have to check for that and don't assume you will automatically get the new rate. Annoying but worth it since they are one of the higher rates around usually so I stick with them.

No limit that I've seen and I've moved big amounts around.

I'm betting the savings connect will see an increase as well maybe to 4.70% apy.

I opened a Platinum Savings AND a six-month CD on June 2. While I know it posts interest earned monthly, when do they start showing how much interest I've earned so far this month? Mine is still showing nothing.

Also, FWIW, the posted rate on my Platinum Savings still shows 4.736% APR (4.85% APY).
