Or you can buy a short-term treasury ETF like SGOV instead, get 5.3% of yield, interest is exempt from state income tax, and way more liquid.
Do not do what this guy says. Get a financial advisor if you're considering it. Do not get you financial advice from SD. Good luck.
I've never had any issues. I've had a checking, savings, and invest account with them for 6 years now.

Umm, you realize that you're also just giving advice?

BTW Financial "advisors" are mostly salesmen who make money off of selling high-fee products.

My only issue is that for the last month or two, the investment details don't update for 15 minutes when the markets open. But otherwise no problems

Was going to get some CD's but decided just to go right to TreasuryDirect (run by the Government) and purchase a few scattered Treasury Bills at various intervals (1 month, 13 week, 26 week) that are set to roll over and automatically renew.

Gives me the flexibility to take a portion of the money out if I need it but the goal would be to keep it there for ~2 years.

Interest rates a year out are lower than short term rates and I wasn't looking for a way to make a ton of cash just not have it sit making 0.01% at Chase.

Not a financial planner, not trying to give advice, but it took 15 minutes to set up the account and add a bank account to fund. Your money isn't instantly available like a checking/savings account but it's liquid enough that if you do it right extra funds can be cashed out without much issue.

TreasuryDirect is a perfectly fine alternative, I use it myself for Series I bonds. It's just that some find the website really clunky, and if you already have a brokerage account somewhere, buying an ETF like SGOV is as easy as it gets.

Skeptism on sgov is fine whatever. He can get a money market account based on us treasuries instead. But then telling someone to get a financial advisor is even worse advise.

Same, just for I bonds. And yeah, the website is pretty clunky. I remember when I was buying the I bonds and thinking "THIS is the best the government can do????" lol

There was some scaremongering around the time of the SVB and First Republic collapses that Ally might be vulnerable to interest rate risks. The talk seemed a bit overblown but it honestly doesn't matter unless you are putting hundreds of thousands in the account and are above the FDIC limit.

Only issues I've had with them involved being caught up in the waves of debit card fraud that went on a few years ago on a card that I had never used before, not even at an ATM. It immediately triggered a fraud alert and I didn't lose any money but I was unhappy with the fact a never used card was compromised. I no longer have an ally debit card and use a different bank as my primary checking. Everything else has been straightforward and problem free.
