I have this. They kind of freaked me out when I opened it. I sent them money. They said they received it but my balance kept saying 0.00. It took about 10 days to show up. They promised that it started earning interest on the day they received. It was true.
They have been really quick sending money. I have loved it so far. FDIC insured.

Unlike the valley direct 4.4% teaser HYSA deal, this is their regular rate and openbank has been good about keeping their HYSA rate competitive.

So, much Slicker than the other one.
Is this a good bank?
Where do Santander has branches?

I just received my funds—transfers from another bank on 5/7 and 5/9 are already reflected in my available balance. The speed is very good; all of my verification trial deposits showed up overnight after the request.

Yes, it was the same for me. But after that it has been working fine so far. Haven't transferred money out though.

When is interest paid into my Openbank account?

Interest accrues daily, and is paid into your account each month when your account cycles

Your account cycle is based on your anniversary date (e.g. if your account opened May 15th, your anniversary is the 15th of each month)

Interest is paid into the account on the last day of the statement cycle, and is visible before the close of business

Your account statement is available on the app on the following business day

Live oak bank also has a savings account with bonus and rates that aren't crap (4.1%)

Most savings accounts with bonuses have crap interest rates.
If you keep the money for 100 days and then move it elsewhere, your ROI can be more e.g. 5.1% with Capital One $1500 Bonus on 100K for 3 months.

I just use Samsung Money by SoFi. The APY is 4.25%. You only need a Samsung smartphone with Samsung Wallet to open a new account. Once setup is complete, you can use it just like any other SoFi account through the SoFi app. I don't really need to use Samsung Wallet since the debit card number and information are only visible there, so I just save them separately and use the SoFi app for everything else.

I used to use Primis Bank, but their interest rates gradually dropped to be similar to other banks, and they still didn't support Zelle. So, I just switched to Samsung Money, which does support Zelle.

I also received the same notice of decrease in apy starting mid-june which sucks.

On the plus side Santander bank, in addition to FDIC, is a GSIP bank [wikipedia.org], which is encouraging in these interesting times.

Unlike others, like say, Cit Bank or Synchrony bank, the transfer times are relatively quick and the transfer amounts are high (100,000 per day and 500,000 per month).

Interest is paid 30 days from when the account was opened, not end of month like others.
