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)

Hi Sydd!!
Is the interest rate (5.05%) indefinitely on the money that is in the savings account?
Indefinitely? or is the 5.05% internet rate only valid for like 1 year or something, and then after one year there will be a new rate based on the future market conditions?
Thanks!!

Nothing is indefinite, but it has been 5.05% for a year or better?

I'm very happy with them.

The last transfer back to my credit union was actually there the next day.

Ok so will they inform us when the rate changes on our account? Or do we have to keep checking what's the interest rate on our account "today"?

Just know with their no penalty CD's you have to call to cancel. Not like Ally all online, not a big deal but was on the phone an hour to do this. Ally was instant.
Yup I found this out...... Hour plus!!!!!

Does the interest go up automatically for current account holders?
If you currently have the Platinum it does, but if you have Savings Connect or something else you need to open this account and transfer the money over.

Vanguard Cash plus is 4.7%.

Is it worth switching to CIT?

as of today, 5/5/2024, My Banking Direct is 5.5% for their high yield savings account. Look it up as slickdeals doesn't allow me to post a link sometimes.

This bank is part of the Flagstar Bank N.A., and FDIC insured.

I'm not someone that would transfer in and out of banks, unless we're talking about 1% or more difference in interest rate.

If you're depositing less than $22,000, then it's really not worthy. Personally, your interest income should be $100 or more per month on this hysa. With 5.5%, you'd just need to put in $22,000 to earn $100 interest a month.

4.879% now. I'm ready to depart soon. It will continue to drop. They won't notify you either. I've had accounts with them for years. Always having to close accounts to open new lines to get better rates.
