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 locked my credit on all 3 agencies (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion). Opened an account about a month ago. No problem. Why do banks need credit history when we're giving them money instead of borrowing?
I guess it is for verification purpose

Ok but I got no problem opening an account with a locked credit. I don't think they check at all or the lock still allows them to pull a different query (not for borrowing money).

Bank accounts use Chex Systems for credit checks. This should be frozen along with the big 3 credit systems.

Thanks. Is it free to request a freeze?
