Platinum Savings is a tiered interest rate account. Interest is paid on the entire account balance based on the interest rate and APY in effect that day for the balance tier associated with the end-of-day account balance.


APYs — Annual Percentage Yields are accurate as of September 3, 2024:

0.25% APY on balances of $0.01 to $4,999.99;

5.00% APY on balances of $5,000.00 or more.


Interest Rates for the Platinum Savings account are variable and may change at any time without notice. The minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $100.

I've been banking with them for nearly 5 years. No major problems. My only issue is that their phone app is severely limited & kind of sucks. Other than that, if you send money, it arrives quickly & interest rates automatically raise without having to contact them. They seem to stay pretty competitive when it comes to the highest interest rate. I really like them & trust them with my money.

UPDATE: As of 06 NOV 23, the app on Android has been updated and reflects a top tier online banking experience. Very happy with the improvements that have been made.
You have more issues than just missing out on $10k!
Have been banking with them for many years. No issues, fast transfers, can manage everything online including closing accounts. Only negative is that their phone support sucks since they encourage online banking only, and they keep adding new account types with higher rates, and you have to open an account and transfer money to new account (which is pretty painless and done within minutes online)

Google Raisin savings

They partner with 40 banks that offer high yield savings accounts with no fees. I'm currently getting 5.26.

They also offer high yield CDs and high yield, no withdrawal penalty CDs.
I've got around 10 CD's from Raisin and it's been an A+ experience. Setup and funding took about 5 minutes and you can select your renewal option on the website easily. I always choose to close the CD and the money is automatically sent back to the funding account, couldn't be easier.

Bigger-risk banks with worse policies and usually onerous requirements for the rate. Go with this one.
I've been heavy into CD's with rates north of 5% and have used 10 different banks. I typically go with the highest rate CD in my term preference as long as there are no red flags and have had zero issue. Last I checked this week Nasa credit union was at 5.70% for 9 months and Raisin had a 5.40% one from Sallie Mae for 14 months. With the likelihood of rate decreases I prefer longer term right now.

I've opened one of these accounts prior to seeing it on SD, no issues so far since opening last year. The mobile app on android was awful, apparently is been updated and it's still pretty bad but it is usable. Takes about a week before the transfer shows completed if I transfer money from my checking account to this account.

Thanks. Previously, when I typed cit.com, it automatically redirected to citbank.com.
I had a problem with the bank last year. One of my CD accounts suddenly disappeared from my account list for weeks. I had to call them; they said there was a technical issue and they manually added the account back to my account list

It's FDIC insured so your money is safe. I signed up in Nov and have been happy. Like to watch the interest accrue. I had trouble signing up and had to call a few times about documents required but suddenly I see a credit in my account. Thinking it was interest in less than a month, I looked at it and said something about credit for troubles.
