How do people in tech set up their banking? I have a primary bank account where my earnings have gone for the last 8 years. I always get promotions to open new bank accounts with other institutions for some cash reward. Is there any point to opening multiple accounts with diff banks? Kind of seems like a hassle but might be some advantage that I don’t know of

I use Charles Schwab for my checking and Ally for savings. Most of my money is not in banks however, it’s either poured into ETF’s in a brokerage account (in my case, Schwab for ease of use) or mutual funds in a tax advantaged account. This is of course after maxing out my 401k contributions. As far as multiple bank accounts for PERSONAL reasons (plenty of reasons if you have a business), there really is not a lot of use in having multiple checking and savings accounts. Maybe you want to open more to organize your spending, especially between personal vs business vs living expenses, or maybe you want another one just for your emergency fund parking. All that can be achieved with a single account however as long as you’re tracking your money wisely. A use case for it could be to spread out amounts of over $250,000 because that’s the most that the majority of banks will cover, but that is generally a terrible idea anyways since you’re simply losing its value to inflation every year.

Yes, you can try to take advantage of the new account bonuses (assuming that you’re not touching the money for awhile). For example, Citi is offering $500 for a $30K deposit (hold that balance for 90 days). This essentially translates to a 6.6% APY on your cash, which is hard to find in this kind of environment. Again, this is probably worthwhile to do with emergency funds but it is a slight hassle setting up the account. After you meet the requirements, you can move the funds out and close the account without penalty.

It really depends on your financial goals. I have a primary account, 2 other bank accounts, several diversified investment accounts. New account "promotions" deserve research prior to opening an account. Some have very little benefit to you like 1% cashback, etc.

I've used the same Credit Union for 30 years. I've stayed because the customer service they offer has always been good and their fees, etc. very low. They also had online banking/bill pay well before most other banks. It is a situation where I've never really found a reason to want to leave.

I only got a second account after moving to a new city and needed a local bank, but I still use the Credit Union as my primary account (I have the accounts linked so I can transfer money between them easily).

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
