As federal interest rates rise, you could be making thousands per year in passive income (i.e., interest) by switching from a big bank savings account like Wells Fargo or Chase (0.01% APY) and opening a savings account at a smaller bank like Discover (3.3% APY) or Western Alliance (4.23% APY).

Agree with the point šŸ’Æ But disagree with the amount. I certainly hope no one has $100k sitting in a savings account for years...

I've unfortunately had multiple clients coming to frum.finance with 100k plus in savings bc they don't know what investments are.
n
Look at the bright side. At least they weren't coming with 100k in debt šŸ™ˆ And they came to you.
m
Bh yes! But since I get enough calls with 100k debt I guess I'm less positive šŸ˜‚

I had 75k+ sitting in a savings account for several years while we were looking to buy a house. It was in an Ally account getting decent savings though. B"H now it's all gone though since we made a downpayment šŸ˜„

Savings accounts may be the best "investment" this year with the looming possibility of a recession, no?

4.3% with a $2m insurance is a great deal šŸ‘
s
That 4.3% is only for 3 months
m
3.8 is still good though
s
It is still good, but it's not 4.3
k
Western Alliance seems to be 4.23
Is there a catch there?
