I did speak with their customer service for sure though to close the other account and it was easy and the service was good.
I had a Savings Connect account with CIT Bank at 4.5% and I just went on the app to create a new account. It was very easy and transferred the money immediately.
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.

Mostly the APY you can get higher than the Federal funds rate are U.S. treasuries or CDs. That is true today.
The last time the federal funds rate was high was 2007 aka the great financial crisis. Recession.
Then the time before that, it spiked up in 2000. The dot com stock market crash. Recession.
Notice a theme? Recessions can lag 12-18 months. We might see one soon.....
