*The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate as of 1/30/2025. The base and promotional interest rate and corresponding APY for Axos ONE Checking is variable and is set at our discretion. The base and promotional interest rate and corresponding APY for Axos ONE Savings is variable and is set at our discretion. Axos ONE Savings is a tiered variable rate account. Axos ONE Checking is a non-tiered variable rate account. Interest rates may change as often as daily without prior notice. Fees may reduce earnings.
The Qualification Period is from the 1st of the month through the 25th of the month. Any qualifying direct deposits received after the 25th of the month will count toward the next Qualification Period.
A direct deposit is an electronic deposit of your paycheck or government benefits, such as Social Security, Disability, etc. Other deposits (i.e., online banking transfers, ATM and mobile check deposits, etc.) or person-to-person payments are not considered a direct deposit.
Qualifying deposits only include deposits from the following eligible sources: (i) ACH transfers from external accounts, (ii) inbound wire transfers from external accounts, (iii) check deposits. Qualifying deposits do not include: (i) transfers internal to the bank (i.e., transfers between an account holder's Checking and/or Savings account), (ii) interest payments, (iii) promotional bonuses, (iv) credits, reversals, and refunds.
Both accounts must be in an open and active status on the date the interest is paid to receive the promotional APY for that statement cycle. Account transactions may take one or more business days from the transaction date to post to the account.

They don't notify you when their rates change.
When rates were going up, they would release a "new" name changed account with the higher rate but keep you at the lower rate until you contacted them to change your account to the "new" one. Had to do this multiple times.
When rates started declining they dropped a lot more than every other high yield savings account I have.
They monkeyed with the daily/monthly transfer amounts to make it harder to get your money out quickly.
They conditionalized minor saving rate increases behind needing direct deposit (5K monthly for +0.05%), a checking account with a minimum balance (10K minimum for +0.1), and make 10 debit card purchases a month for another +0.05%. So all those hoops for a lousy .2% increase that is still significantly lower than every other high yield savings account I use.
Garbage.
I logged into UFB and they are offering:
Unlock Up to 4.21% APY**
Combine Freedom Checking with Portfolio Savings to boost your savings APY by up to 0.20%.** Fewer fees, faster transactions. Plus, earn 2.00% APY*
So it would go to 4.41 + 2% on checking. I do not know the terms though. I thought about switching out of UFB - not because I'm unsatisfied - everything is working well - more so for rate chasing due to rates dropping. Though they all drop their rates - they need to make money somehow.
EDIT: Sorry yeah I misread the website. Only 4.21% after jumping through hoops. I also have Discover paying 3.75%. Not great but I trust Discover over UFB Direct any day.

Step 1
Open a UFB Freedom Checking account and set up direct deposits that total $5,000 monthly to unlock a 0.05% APY** increase on your savings or money market account.
Step 2
Get an additional 0.10% APY** boost on your savings or money market account when you maintain a minimum balance of $10,000.
Step 3
Earn an extra 0.05% APY** boost when you make 10 approved debit card transactions per statement cycle.
Step 1 seems steep. Step 2 no problem. Step 3 - WTF to onerous.
EDIT - Oh yeah sorry UFB sucks. The 4.21% posted above is actually 4.01% with the perceived 0.2% added in. Man I'm going to move out somewhere else.
Not FDIC insured, yes, but anyone paying attention in 2008 might remember the Reserve Primary Fund "breaking the buck" after investors did a run on the fund during the Lehman Brothers collapse. Just one fund failure sent shockwaves through the markets and the US Treasury stepped in the next day to create guarantees for all other MM funds. If money market funds are failing and the Federal govt is doing nothing next time around, it must mean that financial conditions are so disastrous that the FDIC would probably be in peril as well.
It's actually 4.40%, I just checked.
