I am thinking about opening a high-yield savings account, and Marcus and American Express seem to be the most popular options. Has anyone had used either of it or other savings account? What was your experience?

Marcus is very solid, I set up a automatic weekly deposit just to set up an emergency fund. The interest rate is basically nothing at the moment so I wouldn’t consider it a HY savings account.

If you have American Express credit cards, the savings was super easy to set up and use.

Yeah I use Amex - direct deposit goes into my regular account, then transfer to Amex. Nice way to keep track of how much I'm saving after 401k contributions. Lately have gotten tired of near-zero interest rates so have transfered nearly everything in my Amex to my individual brokerage on Fidelity. Doing much better there trading individual stocks.

Ally and capital one 360 are the other two

I love Ally! Have been banking with them for yrs. they have 24/7 customer service, online chat and by phone, which is super easy to get support whenever you need it. Though, the interest rate has been decreasing lately due to the current economy.

Definitely do it - I have been doing it for years - switched my money around a couple of times - now I am with CIT - saw Amex had good rates but didnt want to switch again - I sweep money from regular bank to online account - the only downside is they float ur money so if u need it back fast u need to plan - they r all basically the same so go with the best rate - note they do reduce rates when they go down but are way better than regular banks.

I’ve used Amex HYSA for years now. Interest rates have always been competitive — maybe not the absolute highest at any given time, but never worth switching to another bank for an extra 0.05%. It’s easy to set up an account and the customer service is the best (as with anything Amex).

Check Marcus No Penalty CDs, create a few ones in case you need the money ealrier

If you’re looking for a return on your money in a low interest rate environment I would suggest looking into bank bonuses like chase has for savings accounts.
