About SavingsRateHub
What We Do
SavingsRateHub tracks high yield savings account rates, CD rates, and money market account rates every week. We publish independent comparisons so you always know where your cash earns most.
We check rates every Monday and update our comparison tables. Rates verified on this site include a date stamp. If you see a rate without a verification date, something is wrong — we always date our data.
How We Choose Our Rankings
Rankings are based on four factors in order of weight:
- 1. APY: The annual percentage yield is the most important factor. A higher APY means your cash earns more, all else equal.
- 2. Fees: A monthly fee reduces your effective yield. We only rank accounts with zero monthly fees.
- 3. FDIC coverage: Every ranked account is FDIC insured at an FDIC-member bank or through FDIC-insured partner banks. We note the coverage limit.
- 4. Usability: A strong mobile app and easy ACH transfers matter in practice. We note significant gaps in usability.
No bank or financial institution pays for placement. Rankings are based on the criteria above only.
Affiliate Disclosure
SavingsRateHub earns a referral commission from some financial products when readers open accounts through our links. This commission comes from the financial institution, not from you. It does not affect the rate you receive or the ranking we assign.
We link to accounts we recommend regardless of whether an affiliate program exists. Where no affiliate program exists, we still link to the account if it belongs in the ranking.
This disclosure is required by the FTC. We believe in full transparency about how this site generates revenue.
Not Financial Advice
The information on SavingsRateHub is educational and informational. It is not financial advice. We do not know your personal financial situation, tax bracket, risk tolerance, or financial goals.
Before making any significant financial decision, consult a qualified financial advisor or tax professional. Rates change. FDIC limits are per depositor per institution and may not cover all situations. Verify all information at the provider's website before opening an account.
Rate Accuracy
We verify rates every week and date every piece of rate data on this site. Rates change frequently. Always confirm the current rate at the provider's website before opening an account. The date on our tables tells you when we last verified.
