This is what I do as well. So here's how I go about it. I have a Fidelity brokerage account which has a default settlement fund of SPAXX (Fidelity Government Money Market Fund) which as of Friday yielded 4.01%. Now keep in mind there's a 0.42% expense ratio so you need to subtract that. Anyhow with this settlement fund approach when I do direct deposit or check it gets automatically invested in SPAXX and then I simply do withdrawals/transfers via ach, and it automatically sells the dollar equivalent of my SPAXX holding ($1 = $1). You can also do FZFXX (Fidelity treasury money market fund) and others with the same approach but I stick to these two. The beauty of this is you can use this thing as a hybrid checking account and savings account as it supports many typical bank account features.
In addition to the above, I also maintain a Fidelity cash management account which has a few additional features. The big difference is with the Fidelity cash management account the default settlement fund is FDIC insured at 2.21% up to $2m (I believe). I then manually buy SPAXX on a reoccurring basis in the cash management account to go from the FDIC rate to the money market rate. When I do withdrawals it automatically sells FDIC first followed by SPAXX. I use this as my primary bank account now a days for atm/debit card withdrawals, ACH withdrawals, direct deposits, check writing , bill pay etc. Also all atm fees are reimbursed the same day or within 48 hours for all banks/atms not just Allpoint atms like most other banks. Even better international atm fees are also reimbursed as well.
This works well for me given I used to have a decent amount of cash parked in my checking account just sitting there to pay upcoming bills earning no interest and now it earns pretty much the same as HYSA account.
Vanguard has a similar brokerage/cash management account but the bank like features are very limited when compared to fidelity's offering.
I do not work for Fidelity or sell their products. I am simply a customer and have been pretty happy with them acting as my "bank" and the customer service is top notch at least for me.
Keep in mind this is NOT financial advice.
Fidelity has a very active Reddit subreddit that has more on all of this and folks that can answer questions or just call them for more details.
How is it not safe? Just do it with an FDIC insured bank or credit union that's insured.
This is a good idea in general but I saw that the total return on this drops significantly to less than 4% after the 1 year mark. Just looking at monthly and quarterly returns. You'd still do better with a HYSA at the moment
And if you are with fidelity, FZDXX. Looks like about 0.1% below FZDXX but close enough.
