From the email:
"Update:
Your Savings Account rate is increasing from 4.00% to 4.25% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on all balance tiers. Your new APY goes into effect on 08/01/2023, and will appear in your account on 08/02/2023."
Does SGOV make monthly distributions and are they both federal and state tax free or just state? Thanks!
High yield CD (w/ early withdrawal penalty)
- 15 months 5.5%
No penalty CD
- 9 months 5.25%
You're only talking about a difference of $250-500 return on a $100k balance in 1 year, so squabbling over a quarter or half percent may not be a big deal to most people for these short term investments.
Thanks again!

I can't imagine a situation where this "deal" would be a good idea for someone. Even if you live in a state with no income tax, you still get paid less with Ally.
Does that mean, starting on day 11, you have to pay Ally a ransom to get your matured deposit back?
