Ally has savings accounts with 2.2% APY. Love my experience with them. I don't get charged any fees from them, but there may be a minimum balance requirement for that.

There’s no minimum balance

I use Marcus and love it

Great internet rate and easy to do. One thing that is not ideal is that they don’t have an app but that’s not a deal breaker for me

Any reason why PNC Bank doesn't get any love in the HYS department? They give 2.35% but I never see anyone recommend them with Ally, Marcus, Schwab etc. Am I missing something in their terms?

I think it is for locations where there isn’t a PNC location

Marcus also has no penalty CDs that are slightly better than the savings accounts and have no early redemption fees

He said less risk....

I use Wealthfront. 2.29% interest and no fees or minimum balance required

I think PNC is just not as well known and they have more restrictions to get the rates

Citizens Access is 2.35% - super easy. Minimum balance is 5k

Average annual s&p 500 index return in the last 50 years is 10-12%

CIT bank has 2.4% interest. Believe only requirement is direct deposit of $100-$200 per month to maintain higher rate.

Wealth front just upped their cash account interest to 2.51%. Let me know if you'd like a invite link, we both will get $5000 additional to $15000 managed for free should you chose to use their investment robot advisor as well

Looking to get some feedback on this investment strategy: Contribute 100% of the allowed limit in ESPP program(15% of base) to get full company match(15% of my contribution). Sell it on the same day it vests(vests starting of every month) and then invest that money in vgt and voo.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
