The problem with many of those still over 5% is they have issues. Like you can only take out so much every week or they take a week to deposit it in your account. Or they get slick and lower the rates etc etc etc so you get what you pay for.

Yes, you have to read the terms and determine if they are acceptable to you. Read the funds availability policy, and remember, they pay interest right away, even if they don't let you withdraw right away. I'm good with that in a savings account - I don't try to churn funds like a checking account.

I've had a few HYSAs over the years, and yes, they all tend to reduce rate over time. Eventually I jump when I find a competitor paying 0.5% more. Right now I'm with MyBankingDirect at 5% (formerly 5.5%). No issues - unlimited withdraws/transfers, and reasonable funds availability. Their only questionable term is that if you cancel before interest is paid for the month, you don't get the interest. So, when you clear out and close, do it right after a statement date.

Sorry for 2 different posts but i tried to open a CIT bank account. I am not a churn person. I made it over a week ago. The 1st time i never got the test deposits did it again and got them. Last night went to put them in and could not log into the account i made. I called them a nice lady answered and said yes the account is locked. And then said your account is being closed and you will get a letter as to why in so many days?of course she could not tell me but why?

I have a few checking accounts and savings accounts and a credit score of over 700 what could i have done? makes me feel funny as why would they not want my money?

Appreciate this.

Peak bank at 5.33% doesn't look bad
10k withdrawal limit per day

Oh wow. They take your money and you can't take it out or only by the drip? That sucks. Imagine that if you had 250k. It would require you to consistently take out $10k a day for almost a month to withdraw all that. That is, if they don't have any other monthly limits, such as only N transactions per month.

Ford Interest Advantage is 5.15% which compounds to 5.27%. They send you checks which you can use to pay bills, etc (under $250 is a 25 cent charge). It is NOT guaranteed but I have used it for over 15 years and if Ford gets in trouble (they always carry tons of cash) you can write a check and get out. Mercedes has one but you have to qualify. Duke Power has one but I have never tired it.

Tons of vague and misinformed or optimistic thinking in this post. First off, as you said it's not a bank account so it's not guaranteed by FDIC. Secondly, and I've been through these before, when a company gets in trouble (not saying Ford will ever get in this spot) it happens fast and often without notice. You really think that "writing a check to get it out" is realistic in that timeline? Highly doubtful. Finally, "ford keeps a lot of cash" is also a very misinformed view of how debt obligations work — you're not writing a check out of Ford's actual cash account?!? You'll be in line to recover whatever funds are left in that case. And that position in the totem pole might be very low. Am I saying this will ever happen to Ford? Probably unlikely. However for a mere .5% above market rate for an fdic insured account, I personally am not willing to take that risk.
