Yeah just off the top of my head I’d expect Discover and AmEx to be around 3.5%. Apple is at 3.4%.

I moved away from near 0% savings accounts more than 20 years ago, it’s amazing to me it’s still so common.

You don’t have to try very hard or go wrong to someone you’ve never heard of to get a good rate.

The rate goes up and down with inflation, high inflation, high interest - low inflation, low interest.

But even then, yes some banks still offer no or 0.5% accounts.. because they can, and many people can't be bothered to figure out a better option, or "trust" there bank and don't want to move. (or the bank has high interest account, but make it complicated to use)
