Fidelity Bloom savings account is doing 4.97% yield right now. $100 bonus with $50 deposit and no direct deposit requirement. So far I have SoFi, Bloom and Capital One 360 and I like them all. But I tend to use SoFi more.
Just signed up through SB for $200 as the requirements were less of a pain in the ass. Made first direct deposit today and they already issued to SB that I completed the offer.

Yeah I work there. The most common core SPAXX has been 4.97% 7 day yield for a bit.
I just signed up last month and got a $50 Promo bonus within 2 days of my 25 day Evaluation period. I did have over the $5k deposited needed for the $250 bonus, however I realized that half of the funds were direct deposit but the other half were dividend payouts that showed up as just deposits in spite of it being sent through the same company. I called their customer service team, said they must have put the wrong pay code in by mistake and they said they'll pay me within the next day or two. Also note that they have a referral program that pays out $75 to you and $25 to the one who joins, provided they deposit $100 and they are still eligible for the $250 bonus. I had my wife join and they paid out the bonus to both of us the same day.
There is no minimum Direct Deposit amount required to qualify for the stated interest rate once the initial evaluation period is over so I plan on putting whatever is left after depositing fund for my other bank offers.
One of the better banks I've joined this year and probably plan on replacing my primary one for them.
Switched a few months back from Chase, best decision my wife and I have made in awhile. Feels weird actually getting a decent interest payment. You can set up an autotrasfer from savings anytime you have a checking transaction so all of our money sits in our savings earning 4.5% interest. High recommend, should've done this a long time ago.
My wife doesn't earn , so I created her SoFi account and did my direct deposit to her bank.
Was very simple. Went on adp , changed the account and routing number . I was a bit skeptical at first , but yes it worked .
Waiting for 24 more days to get the 250 bonus.
I've had them for several years and convinced my husband to open an account there. We both love checking our balances on the first of the month to see how much interest we've earned. One great feature (which other banks may have also) is that if I forget to transfer money from my savings account to my checking account when I write a check, Sofi will automatically transfer the funds with no fee. Which is great because that is exactly what happened last month with the rent check. =

Put everything in general savings. Turn on overdraft protection and if there's no money in your checking, it'll auto draft from savings. So you get the full 4.5% at all times.
Then you set up a vault with your actual savings and it won't get touched by the overdraft protection.
Untrue, most of these have crappy online or app banking features and don't give you your direct deposit paycheck 3 days early
The person was asking for a list of banks that provided savings with 5% or higher, not about features like early direct deposit but regardless some of them still provide these features and still above 5% and honestly I would take a significant higher rate over 2 days early deposit
Transfers from SoFi are unbelievably fast. I recently made SoFi my primary bank and considering it for investments too. I have had no issues. To anyone on the fence, it's definitely worth trying out. I think it took me all but 30 seconds to open the account.
Don't do it… I had them for 5 years and they frozen my account and I can't pull any of my money out.
They said it was an IRS issue but I've talked to the IRS for about 10 hours total and they can't see/find anything on their end.

My account is frozen and customer support is non existent.
I've reported them to all the bureaus and I'm still sitting with a frozen account for a week so far with no end in sight.
Just one example but checks Reddit… they've been doing some account freezing weird stuff:
