be aware that they have a weekly withdrawal limit.
If you need to withdraw all your money at once you can not
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.


Rant over.

Too many restrictions. It takes 2-3 weeks for your deposit to show up in your account. You cannot withdraw all your money in one week. Customer service is not good at all. Stay away from this bank.

Anyone experienced this bank?
How does it compare to Wealthfront?

Opened two accounts with them. Their online page is the only way you can confirm small deposits to link another bank's acct for transfer of funds. It does not happen instantly which may have been partly my other bank's delay. However when I confirmed the deposits on the Webster / Brio site and seemingly had access to transfer funds in to Webster/Brio acct, the transaction initially went through only to be "Stopped" by Webster days later. I called and complained since the deposits were confirmed and that is what everyone was waiting for. Turns out, it still takes a business day for Webster to "ok" transactions despite the ability for me to complete them. This was never mentioned anywhere and seemed decidedly low-tech. Even though I needed to confirm the small transaction amts to initiate a transfer, someone needed to flip a switch on their end later or the transaction would be stopped. Also they never notified me that my transaction had been stopped. I had to long on a week later to realize it. Other than that, the 5.3% is legit.

If you do a little research and find out which government agency regulates them and file a complaint, you'll find that they will give you what you want. Also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Lmfao 5.4 through June 9th. Don't bother.

Does the rate on the high-yield savings account change?

Yes, this is a variable-rate product, which means the rate on this account can move either up or down. Rates and APYs are subject to change without notice. However, we strive to provide our client with competitive rates!

I'm already getting 5.3% at Vio Bank, which was easy to join. Look up their money market, not savings acct. But now that rates are about to be reduced, I'm looking for the highest 3 year and 5 year CDs. Anyone?

Any other better options to maximize 50k? One thing I don't know or I guess haven't look up is, can I withdraw anytime I want or I mUST keep it like idk 6 months or year or whatever terms?

What about Cash Sweep (www.moomoo.com/us/activity/welcome) 8.1% APY on uninvested cash: 5.1% APY (base rate) + Extra 3% APY (for 3 months) + up to 10 free stocks?

Really bringing in politics? A total lie just like that fat guy does every day. The Fed had to cut rates i do not like it but they had to. This post services no purpose but to lie.

It can get complicated if you have too much money, but a safe bet is 250K per SSN at a given bank. But be aware some of these online banks are subsidiary of offline banks with fancy unrelated names, in which case, you coverage limits is cross both.
