Re: high yield savings accounts

Ally, American Express, Capital One, and Discover are all highly recommended. Alliant and PenFed are good alternatives if you prefer credit unions. They are all FDIC/NCUA insured with no monthly fees or minimum balance requirements, and all of them have highly rated mobile apps.

ETrade is owned by Morgan Stanley now. They have an online savings account that is paying 2.75% currently. If you have an ETrade account, you can see your savings account on the ETrade home page along with your ETrade account, and you can transfer money back and forth in minutes.

I have used Ally for about 7 years or so. I really like their "buckets" feature as well, highly recommend.

Re: high yield savings accounts

Idaho Central Credit Union also has a good product. They only require $1,000 minimum balance and the account is free. The rate stays competitive with all the others listed in previous replies as well.
