I haven't used them personally, but a coworker of mine has and he said they're solid. Not just the rate, but ease of use, mobile app, customer service etc. was great. Wealthfront looks like a solid option as well, but it's technically not a HYSA. At least not in the traditional sense since it has checking account features built into it as well.
BrioDirect is an online brand of Webster Bank (FDIC insured), which has been around for almost 90 years and has 177 branch stores across the country (in case that's a benefit to you). Wealthfront is online only and not technically a bank. They distribute your money to banks that are FDIC insured, so you're covered that way.

I think both are good options, so it comes down to your personal preferences. I would opt for the higher rate if there's no major differentiator between the two products (and your money is insured), but that's just me. Some people prefer to go with a known brand they trust and will sacrifice interest in return. American Express Savings, for example, are popular despite only offering 4.25%.

My only complaint with them is how they handle beneficiaries.

You have to send them a "special" message formatted just the way they want it. They don't have an online form or a PDF to make it easier.

On top of that, I can't get them to acknowledge in a formal way that my beneficiaries have been properly assigned.

I don't think it's too much to ask that they send me either a message, or an email, or god forbid a USPS letter showing me the beneficiary info they have on file.

They just want you to take their word for it. As anyone who's dealt with an estate after a person has died will tell you, it's pretty important that you get these details done, and done correctly.

As far as they're concerned, I have to wait till I'm dead to find out they did it incorrectly.

I'm thinking seriously of walking away from them because of this.

I have parked some money over at American Express and I've been thinking about this. Do you have any insight as to when???

Accounts at institutions that are FDIC insured or credit unions insured by NCUA are covered up to $250,000 per depositor. If you have more than $250,000 to park, use multiple banks.

High yield now but money gone when the banking system crashes. So be careful with your HARD earned $$.

Won't fiat currency be useless when the whole economic structure collapses? Oh wait, I'm bringing logic to the table. Silly me.

MyBankingDirect.com [mybankingdirect.com] at 5.55% APY
and
poppybank.com [poppy.bank] at 5.5% APY

Both are FDIC insured and don't have to jump through hoops to get that rate.

No bonus to open an account, but 5.35% is the highest APY I've seen recently.

Both are FDIC insured and don't have to jump through hoops to get that rate.

The only "hoops" on these two that I see it that MBD requires $500 to open, but after that is 5.55% for any balance over $1, and the Poppy requires $1000 to open but you must also maintain $1000 ADB plus enroll in e-statements to avoid a $5/month fee for paper statements. Both are pretty low threshold, but MBD offers a checking account that gives ATM access outside of California, too.

Poppy does guarantee the rate for 90 days after opening, but can/will change without notice after that. MBD doesn't guarantee the rate for any specific length of time, but per the other thread on them they've offered the highest rates for a while to entice customers because they've had some liquidity issues.

Slickdeals isn't getting a kickback they want to share?
What happened to Slickdeals Rewards/cashback offers? It's exactly these type of offers that usually are high returns on CashBack/point sites.

Most financial institutions have strict rules around that now and don't allow their partners to incentivize people to sign up for their products.

I didn't see Brio (yet?)

Are you saying Brio prohibits SD from rewarding SD members for signups? Or is this a general explanation for SD not sharing any kickbacks?

Interesting. The feedback is general and not specific to Brio. I'm going to check on a couple of the ones you mentioned again. We are definitely open to giving our users a bonus but have been told we can't by most partners.

American Express has dropped their rates twice in the past few months. BrioDirect appears on par with TBills, but if compounded daily, is a better bet.
