What sort of return do you get on USFR's?
Just want to make sure before I dump a large sum in here.

They'll be accessible in 2weeks after transfer. You'll see your overall balance and then usable balance. If you set up direct deposit then it's accessible right away. But if you're sending it from 1 bank to CIT then it's locked or on a hold for 2weeks
No real issues though - I only joined so my money would be a little more difficult to access so I went impulsively spend it from my main bank account.
I believe your money starts earning interest once the transfer shows up in your CIT account.

It's a great account for high interest and that's about where the greatness ends. The tolerable things are subpar are the case sensitive usernames, the terrible integration with some finance dashboards that consolidate your accounts, the slow money moves, and the only way to get anything done is with secure messages which take time with back and forths. For me, the rates outweigh the negatives.
If anyone knows of another high rate bank with very high or no limits on ETF transfers, please let me know.

They have been my bank of choice for many years.
To me, all these bank teaser rates are full of shit. My advice is use the stock market and if you don't believe in the market, invest in funds such as TMCXX. This is a start for anyone who wants to start investing in the stock market... index funds or a specific stock.
There are other banks offering 5.20+ apy
