For banks with B&M branches Capital One 3.4% is the best, correct?
Probably. Unless you can buy treasuries or MMFs through a brokerage with physical branches. (Like JPM or TDAmeritrade, IDK how affiliated the brokerages are with the personal banks though).

I guess it depends on how much you have and what other benefits of Robinhood gold you use, but if used exclusively for HYSA does the $5/monthly fee means you'd need about $1,450 (1450 X .0415 / 12 = $5) to cover the fee and about double that to beat a no fee 4% savings?
Much more. You would need $40k to cover the $5 fee and earn 4%.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

You didn't miscalculate it. You were actually right, this dude was hibernating in math class thinking $40K covers $60/year in fees. When $40K actually earns you $1660 in interest income minus $60 for fees. So 40K will net $1600.

The point is you really need to calculate how much interest you get from the extra 0.15% the robinhood gold to beat a regular 4% hysa.

Practically seems like other options now equal or better than robinhood gold 4.15% so unless you’re already tapping into its benefits I’m not seeing it’s superiority.

So, I guess so. I only see 2 others higher that I recognize as B&M banks, and the deal is not available in my location.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

And a 4% savings without fees will also net you $1600, for a net gain of $0.00.

I was invited to Vanguard Cash Plus a few months ago, where it was earning 3.5%+. It's now at 4.1%.

But with a referral, my Marcus account is now earning 4.5% for the next 3 months.

Not familiar with it, so I'm not sure.

Marcus just increased their rates to 3.75% today. With my referral bonus, I'm now getting 4.75%!

Kabbage is closing  :(



If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
