Savings account rates have remained the same compared to one week ago, with the highest yield standing at 5.84% for a $2,500 minimum deposit account.
Online banks and credit unions typically offer higher interest rates on savings accounts than traditional brick-and-mortar banks.
The average annual percentage yield (APY) for a traditional savings account is currently 0.22%, while high-yield savings accounts offer much higher rates but may require certain conditions to be met.
When choosing a savings account, consider factors like deposit requirements, interest rates, fees, and federal insurance protection to make an informed decision.
