Summary
- High yielding saving accounts are those that offer higher interest rates on saving deposits.
- These banks are mostly online banks. They have fewer overheads and can pass on earnings in terms of interest to their customers.
- These are easy to open accounts to keep money that depositors may want to use at any time.
All savings accounts pay an interest rate for the money kept in the account. The more is the interest rate, the higher is the growth of your savings. Many online banks offer higher rates than the brick-and-mortar banks like Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, and Bank of America.
The brick-and-mortar banks have branches with overhead costs like rent and staff salary, etc. Banks adjust these expenses from their earnings. In the case of online banks, these overheads are either less or do not exist. As such, online banks may pass on the higher income to the savings account holders through interest and yield. Many banks pay an annual percentage yield (APY) of 0.01%. The average APY is 0.06% as per Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC).
