5 Benefits of a High Yield Savings Account

1. A Higher APY

Not all savings accounts are created equal. Our High-Yield Savings account offers a higher APY than traditional bank savings accounts due to us having less operating costs and opting to share our cost savings with our customers. Currently, our High-Yield Savings account offers customers competitive APY. See here for our current rates.

2. Separate your savings from your spending

High-Yield Savings accounts tend to offer higher APYs than traditional bank savings account, often because they are offered by banks not operating hundreds of branches allowing the digital banks to share their cost savings with the customer. If your paycheck is dumped into the same, singular checking account, it might just disappear as quickly as it comes in. Set up a percentage of your paycheck to be deposited into your savings account to help you automatically save money.

3. Better tracking and maintaining of financial goals

By opening up a high yield savings account, the money you save can help send you on your way to finally affording the vacation you have been talking about forever or whatever large purchase you’ve been itching to make. Each month you will be able to track how much money you have accumulated and can make savings goals accordingly.

4. Makes you more patient with spending

Sometimes it is easy to justify our spending sprees because we know we have the money in our checking account to pay for our purchases. In order to help stop us from buying that extra jacket, putting more money in our high yield savings account makes spur of the moment purchases a little more difficult.

5. Prepares you for the unexpected

There are always unexpected costs that come up, whether it’s maintenance for your car or a destination wedding you were invited to, having a savings account to lean back on will only help you sleep better at night, just in case.
