kk so regular savings accounts pay you almost nothing
i think the national average is like 0.4%.
VS. a high-yield savings account (HYSA) pays wayyy more, around 4-5% rn!!
what’s APY? if u dk, its just how much your $$ earns sitting there over a year. higher APY = more free money. same acc, same safety, you just get paid more
if u do the math $10k in a regular account earns u ~$38/year but the same $10k in a HYSA earns u $400+ & u literally didnt do anything but move it
some options to look at
• sofi : up to 3.10%
• cit bank : amazing online-only option!
• synchrony ~3.4%, no minimums
• varo - up to 5.00%
• axos - up to 4.21%
j make sure it’s FDIC insured, no monthly fees, low minimum
ur welcome hehe
