Not sure if this has been said yet…but PayPal has a savings account and is currently offering 3.5%
Well, suppose you are planning to invest your money in something that will give you more profits in the future, in my opinion. In that case, investing in real estate or even cryptocurrency is better since today is a good moment to buy crypto.
Yes, it is backed by synchrony bankYikes. Be careful with that. PayPal is notorious for being hacked. Is that FDIC insured?
I have a high-interest account with Vio. So far, so good. It's not perfect, but it's good for hiding money from myself for a planned purchase.Looking to open a savings account with high interest, I have looked online but I do not recognize any of the banks listed with high interest rates. Anyone have this type of account? Can you share which one and your experience? THanks
I have found them to be very tight with security. A flurry of activity where existing accounts are being emptied into new accounts sets off red flags.So I opened two new Capital One Performance Savings a few days ago and transferred my regular 360 accounts into them for the higher interest. Then went through and added DH as a joint owner on the new ones. Went back in yesterday to transfer the end of month interest payments out and see that all of my accounts say I cannot withdraw funds at this time and to call a number. Wondering if anybody else had this happen maybe because I had so much activity at once. I found a reddit where this happened but there wasn't any resolution posted. So I'm curious if I do have to call or if it is just a temporary hold. Anybody else seen this?
When I did this I didn’t have any issues. It was about 2 weeks between the opening and moving money to the new account and then transferring the interest to the new account and closing. I transferred about 5 different accounts to the one new one.So I opened two new Capital One Performance Savings a few days ago and transferred my regular 360 accounts into them for the higher interest.

Did you leave the old accounts open after you opened the new ones?
Transfers do seem to take a few days to process. I would give it to the end of the week and try again.Yes they are open still, and have received a little bit of interest. I was going to clear that out when I saw they were locked. I just called and the lady couldn't see any notes of why I was restricted so told me to call again tomorrow. I did these things 12/29 so with the holiday she thought she might not have info yet. I'll give it a couple more days.
I have also been looking for a high-interest savings account because I wanted to have passive income from my savings.
By chance, do you know how the Vanguard was running last year?My Marcus by Goldman Sachs savings is up to 4.15%, Vanguard Federal Money Market (not FDIC insured) is up to 5%
