Yes. It has gone up for me every time.
Just buy treasuries instead. It is super easy at Fidelity and you can auto-roll when they mature.
Or if treasuries sounds too complex you can buy VUSXX (Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund). Current yield is 5.1% and it is state tax exempt.
Or if all of the above sounds too complex, you can just open Vanguard brokerage account. All your unused cash is automatically invested in VMFXX (Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund) with current yield 5.09%. Note that this is not 100% state tax exampt, so you will have to do some math come tax time.
Mine has been going up automatically the past two times they raised it.
ACH Transfer limit is:
$150,000 per transaction
$250,000 per day
$300,000 per month
There are other options out there, don't mean to steal the thread.

Update: I just spoke with a CIT rep to confirm - and that is the case - those limits were removed during covid - BUT... it doesn't apply to the CIT Platinum Savings as you can't bill pay through that account - just echecking and money markets (which give lower rates)...
Bummer - but good info to know...
So if you're doing this to bill pay through CIT, open both a Platinum Savings and echecking...
Hope this helps someone...

5.06% > 5%
what's their minimum balance to get that apy?

CFG bank, 5.17% interest, has slightly better reviews; but is still below average.
As to the rest of the list, I'll leave that for others to check on their own. Or to chime in on their personal experiences.
the ones i have tried have been disastrous
namely synchronybank and ally
ended up with kasasa credit unions and so far so good

So if trust a bank more at 5% apy while the bank I don't trust offers something a little higher like 5.06% than I'm going with the bank that I trust more.
