My Banking Direct is a service of Flagstar Bank N.A. The parent company is NY Community Bank which is having financial difficulties. You can Google it. But all funds up to $250K is FDIC insured.
A: In the unlikely event of a bank failure, the FDIC responds in two capacities.
First, as the insurer of the bank's deposits, the FDIC pays insurance to depositors up to the insurance limit. Historically, the FDIC pays insurance within a few days after a bank closing, usually the next business day, by either 1) providing each depositor with a new account at another insured bank in an amount equal to the insured balance of their account at the failed bank, or 2) issuing a check to each depositor for the insured balance of their account at the failed bank.
They need the cash. My guess is a lot of savers desperate for rates are pouring in at below the FDIC insured amount. They said 72% of their deposits are at insured level. I am still shocked 28% are not. Maybe retired people taking risks chasing higher yield.
Curious. Why are people not putting their money into treasury bonds? 1 month bonds right now have similar rates and no state taxes.
Think of an HYSA as a Ronco Rotisserie: set it and forget it.
Most people can handle putting their money into a single account one time and watching it grow and paying a little tax at the end because they don't have the time/patience/knowledge/skill to build a T-Bill ladder and taking time to learn it doesn't appeal to them when they can start getting returns right away.
Lol the review for these guys looks like a disaster. No thanks
I sent them $25K from yesterday after opening a new account. It showed up this morning. I had no hiccups. They actually went out of way with security measures when setting up the account. They're online only banking arm of NY Community Bank which owns Flagstar banks. As long as you're under $250K, you will be fine. I rather keep extra $1000 in interest from $200K I'm gonna put in compared to CIT where I also have $200K in it.
Anyone have any experience with them? Just opened up a CITBank account at 5.05%. A bit worried as I've never heard of them.
Opened a new account yesterday and deposited. The fund showed up this morning. No problem so far. Only thing you have to worry about is to keep the amount in the bank below $250K. Interest is interest in my mind. I rather squeeze extra 10% compared to CIT. I also have the 5.05% account with them. I had no problem with CIT but people complained about them too.

Just so everyone knows, this is a subsidiary of NYCB. Which is having serious financial issues atm. Ask yourself why is the interest the highest in the country for HYS and also why it's so difficult to find who owns this bank. Even a Google search doesn't make it easy. FDIC insured but YMMV on this one.
Don't understand why FDICK doesn't insure all individual accounts with no upper limits, 250k was set in 2010, it's 2024 come on.
Then the banks will lend carelessly knowing they don't have to worry that the depositors will worry. It's a fair system. Think of yourself as a bank lending to bank which lends to borrowers. But FDIC or the feds made the other bank failures last year whole even over $250K.
I was looking at banks from February, they had the highest % out of everyone, but barely. But being insured means no risks up to that amount, so I joined that month. Setting up was incredibly easy. I'm guessing the only ones second guessing this have no clue about any of this. They seem to be maintaining having the highest rate. I joined at 5.35%, which they sent an email recently saying it got upgraded to this 5.55%

I mean it just sounds like laziness with money actually, like those who let their money sit in horrible 0.01% interest bank savings accounts.
Literally takes a few minutes to buy a T-Bill and understand the concept of buying them at different intervals so you constantly have maturing ones. The Treasury Direct site is super simple and you can place all your orders in 5min, and even set all your T-Bills to auto reinvest up to 2 years. Boom. Set and forget.

The issue I have with all these high yield places is you spend your time setting up and getting into 1, then all of a sudden months down the line they keep dropping their rates not being competitive at all anymore.
So then you redo the process, open up at another best high yield place, get all your money into that new account, over and over and over. In the end you spend so much more time doing that and now you have 20 skeleton savings accounts all over the place. And come tax season, you get to enter all of them that gained you interest as separate entries. No fun. No good.
Save time. Save money (no State tax). Go with T-Bills.

I didn't say I haven't done the same, just that for the vast majority of people, they are looking for the simplest way to earn interest while having 100% liquidity the instant they need it.
