This thread is for members to share their own experiences with all the various HYSA accounts, CDs, and just personal ups & downs when dealing with all types of accounts out there!

figured we'd start a running thread so people can drop the specifics, whether its a matter like minimums or odd restrictions, which can happen with certain community banks and private credit union requirements!!

All that said, everyone has different needs whether it is maximizing APY, no fees, a nice promo offer, or just looking for better reliability, and hopefully the goal of this ongoing thread will be for everyone to have more up-to-date info on what matters the most to them + any potential savings accounts that might be a better fit for their current timeline.

We'll also be creating and adding posts of hands-on reviews for various HYSA accounts and CDs soon enough on here.

For starters, we have our official community site resources with the following:

Compare local banks & credit unions

Be sure to drop your own experience with your existing accounts below, or just drop any updates to either APYs, promo offers, whatever you feel could help educate your fellow savings maximizers.

*We'll be adding new bank account breakdowns below each week, and linking each post back in here for you to review at any time.
