HYSA at Wealthfront vs Capital One vs somewhere else? Anyone have experiences to share? Just looking to park some money and have direct deposits go in but want it to be as easy as possible to transfer between my Cap One checking account

I have capital one for my HYSA. Have had it since it was ING Direct. They don’t necessarily lead in APR, but their app is easy to use and it’s simple. I also have a Capital One CC, so it’s nice to have fewer apps. If ease of transferring from another C1 account is important, then keeping your HYSA under the same roof is the easiest you will get.

I use Sofi because even tho the interest rate is slightly lower (4.6%) than the absolute highest you can find, I get to use the overdraft protection loophole and effectively use my savings as a checking. So I can write checks, use ATM, etc on the same account where I'm getting 4.6%. DM if you want a referral link to get a small extra sign up bonus.

Everyone saying Marcus in the replies because they need to refer people to keep their interest rate high 😆 talking about absolutely basic features like being able to pay your credit cards from the account

I’ve had both and switched to Marcus. UI is much better, I link all my external accounts and have unlimited transfers (most automated). Rate is top tier as well.

I use AMEX at 4.6%

Same. Easy to use if you already have an Amex CC as the accounts now talk to each other.

I also use Marcus and agree with D1 that it’s super easy to use, I even pay my rent and credit cards from the account since there’s no withdrawal limits, I’ll DM you a referral if you’re interested

I have wealthfront. I send my direct deposit to my chase and amex and then send it directly to wealthfront. Depositing funds is easy and normally starts earning the next business day. It appears in 3-4 business days, but starts earning the business day after you initiate the transfer.

Getting funds from your wealthfront is also fast. I send it out in the morning and it's in my chase/citi by the end of the day. That heavily depends on your bank

A plus of Wealthfront is that b/c multiple banks are involved, your account can hold more than the typical $250k FDIC per depositor limit.

I use my Fidelity taxable brokerage account. It gives me I think 4.9%. I had this account, Fidelity. It takes time from having to create a new account at another bank.

Is bank interest riba?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.

House was purchased for $460k no money down (VA loan), refinanced at $450k to lower payments $400/month, now have $430k left on the loan... would it have to appraise for $516k?
