Disagree here.

CDs are great for those in a situation where they are helpful, but they can't always replace a HYSA.

CDs are only useful if:
- You have a decent, fixed chunk of cash now.
- You are really, really sure you won't need the money before maturity.

If not, it's not the product for you.

Personally, I have both. I regularly deposit into an HYSA (CDs suck for that). When the balance gets big enough, I may open a new CD.

That said, I'm not buying into this HYSA. This smacks me as likely a promo rate they plan on killing once they are more established in the USA.

Better off with an outfit that has been near the top of the highest-apy-savings-accounts for several years, showing a longer-term strategy of being near the top and staying there.
Santander is the largest bank in Spain. So, yeah, it's pretty stable.

But like the other comment said, a HYSA isn't gonna cut it now that the Fed is starting to lower rates. This deal would be slick if it were a CD, not a HYSA.
YMMV depending on your location.

CFG account dropped to 4.88%. Wondering if it's worth it to switch.

All will come down but in the end it is up to you but i moved money to ufb and they dropped the day money hit from 5.15 to a now 4.57 4.88 is not bad and they dropped now so another drop might not happen for awhile but up to you.

Quote from thegman230 :
A CD ( certificate of deposit at a bank or share certificate if at a credit union) has a fixed rate for a set time period that you choose. It's guaranteed to remain the same for the entire length you choose, but your money is locked in and you cannot remove the principle amount ir you get a substantial penalty of some interest earned. You can however remove the interest without penalty most places. A high yield savings account rate is variable and can change at any time. It can be 5 pct today and drop to 2 pct a week later. However there is no fixed term and funds are liquid.
Good points but it would be literally impossible for a HYSA to drop 3% in a week. I know you were just making a point but that's not realistic. If that happened we'd likely be experiencing WW3 with nuclear bombs dropping left and right and a massive global worldwide depression.

Yep. I don't care about hysa anymore. It's a pain with all the transaction limits of savings accounts. Now I just use brokerage or cma from Fidelity, vanguard, etc. Keep money in spaxx, fdlxx, vusxx, or something similar.
HYSA's still have their place especially if you take advantage of promotions. I think my rate on a recent Capital One promotion was around 10% over a 3 month period. That was thanks to a $1500 bonus. However, for the most part I agree with you. Just store it in a brokerage account and invest in spaxx, etc. Plus if it's in a Roth IRA you don't have to worry about paying taxes on the interest.

I have this exact account and for those who are saying the rate will immediately change, it's actually been 5.25 for awhile. Someone just posted it to Slickdeals late to the party. Just keep in mind when you make your initial transfer to fund the account it takes 2 full weeks to be available. After that initial deposit, your next deposits will be available in like 1-2 days like any other bank.

Nope just use the other bank to do the ACH.

Two big minuses for me: no Zelle (even though Santander has it), and it's geared towards using the app. Rep said it's made for the app and they don't recommend banking on a desktop/laptop.

I read it is 2 weeks or more before your deposit is in the account and as said you use the mobile app and it must be a Apple phone as android does not work with it from my reading. Plus no way to get the money not even with Zelle plus no ATM card but not having Zelle means the only way to get money out is a transfer that might take a week.
