Highest Online Bank Rates for Savings And Money Market Accounts - November 25, 2020
Savings Account National Average Rate: 0.12% ?
Rates on savings products and CD products are incredibly low and have been for several months now. These are the times when people may be apt to fall for scams and take unnecessary risks. Don’t do it. I made this same warning in 2014 when rates were last this low. You can read the article I wrote then about outfits (...read more in the Recent Articles section below the rate table).

Best Online Savings Account Rates
- A competitive interest rate. BestCashCow maintains the most comprehensive list of deposit account rates. The rates above are the best available rates for online savings accounts. In order to ensure that your money continues to grow over time, you may wish to avoid banks which rely heavily on very short term promotional rates (such as EverBank). If you open an account with a promotional rate or even if you open an account where the rate isn’t promotional in nature, you should check back with BestCashCow regularly to be sure that your bank continues to offer one of the most competitive rates.
- Full functionality through online and mobile access. Most of the accounts listed above have robust websites and mobile access that enables full functionality. Read the comments from other users before opening an account as they often highlight problems with access.
- Assess how the bank provides customer service. Many of the leading online banks now have customer service representatives who are U.S. based and available 24/7 with low wait times. This is often a distinguishing feature that makes a well-recognized bank significantly more attractive than a smaller bank trying to enter the online banking arena.
- Absence of fees. Be sure that you are opening an online account with a bank that doesn’t charge fees and has very low minimum balance requirements. American Express, CIT, GS Bank, Barclays and Ally are all well known for low minimum requirements and the absence of any unusual monthly fees.
- Easy Access to your Cash through Immediate Online Transfers. The reason why you keep money in savings is for access in an emergency or to take advantage of immediate financial opportunities. You need access to your cash. Yet, some banks impose strict limits on the amount of cash that you can access from your account in a single transfer or limit the numbers of transfers you can conduct over a given time period. Other banks can delay your transfers for days while they make money on the float. You should check with the bank where you are considering opening an online account to understand the restrictions before you open an account. You may also read the comments from other users above as they can highlight which banks enable the best access to your cash.
- Stay within FDIC limits! See the section above and read this article.
- Use the BestCashCow Savings Calculator to see how important it is to be maximizing your interest on savings accounts over time.
Expert Reviews of Well-Known Online Banks, November 2020
Online Savings - 0.50% APY, $1 minimum
Great for: Competitive CD Rates with no transaction fees ever.
Overview: Marcus is the online bank of Goldman Sachs. Throughout 2018, it consistently offered one of the highest online savings rates, but it has been quick to lower its savings and CD rates in 2019 and 2020. Marcus has a highly rated mobile app.
Highlights: Marcus is very highly rated in customer reviews on BestCashCow. Users cite the consistently high savings rates, lightening fast ACH transfers, the ease of web access, strong customer service and the absence of any fees ever.
What to watch for: Marcus has been quicker than many competitors to lower its savings rate.
Online Savings – 0.50% APY, $5,000 minimum
Great For: High Savings and CD Rates with no transaction fees ever
Overview: Citizens Access is a relatively new entrant in the online banking space, but is a subsidiary of Citizens Bank, one the largest, oldest and most well established US banking institutions.
Highlights: Citizens Access never charges any monthly fees. Its user reviews on BestCashCow have been outstanding. It was ahead of the curve in increasing its savings rates in anticipation of each Federal funds rate increase in 2018.
What to watch for: Citizens Access has also been ahead of the curve in decreasing its savings rate with each 2020 Federal funds rate decrease and has become less rate competitive in recent months. All Citizens Access savings and CD products require a $5,000 minimum balance.
Online Savings Account – 0.60% APY, no minimum
Great For: Sometimes competitive savings rates and No Penalty CD rates with 24/7 Customer Service
Overview: Ally’s strong advertising campaigns and name recognition has made it one of the most recognized online banks. Until 2019, the savings rate was competitive. The bank also offers competitive CD products (with modest early withdrawal penalties) and no penalty CDs (with no early withdrawal penalties).
Highlights: BestCashCow user reviews cite a strong mobile app and the ease of getting into and out of No Penalty CD products. Ally often offers new and existing users a 1% cash promotion for bringing new deposits.
What to watch for: Ally is the former GMAC Bank, having been spun out following the 2009 financial crisis, and may continue to have significant exposure to used automobile loans. Depositors should therefore be especially cautious as we roll through the COVID-19 pandemic and should always maintain their deposit balances within FDIC limits. In addition, as of 2020, Ally's savings and CDs rates are no longer competitive with its peers. Some customers complain about waiting hours to reach customer service by phone at all hours. Others have expressed frustration about being inundated by Ally's nonstop cross-selling of auto loan, personal loan, credit card and online trading products.
Money Market – 0.55% APY, $100 Minimum
Great For: Competitive savings rates, great customer service
Overview: CIT Bank is a nationwide direct bank and is a division of CIT Bank, N.A., a large financial institution focused on equipment leasing that required a financial bail out from the federal government in 2009. The bank was an early entrant into the online banking space, and offered competitive savings and CD products to US customers through the internet for many years. In 2020, it has matched the savings and money market rates of other well known online banks.
Highlights: User reviews left on BestCashCow’s savings table are consistently strong with users highlighting strong and responsive customer service by phone when necessary.
What to watch for: Some have reported experiencing significant delays with both inbound and outbound transfers (during which time CIT makes the interest and not you). Also, CIT owns OneWest Bank and those with accounts at both banks should add their deposits together to be sure they do not exceed FDIC coverage.
High Yield Savings – 0.60% APY, no minimum
Great For: Stronger CD rates than many other well-known online banks.
Overview: Synchrony Bank is the former GE Capital Retail Bank that has now been spun off completely into its own institution. In the past, Synchrony offered competitive online savings and CD rates, but it is no longer competitive. Even though Synchrony is an entirely independent entity now and should not have exposure to GE's troubles, there may still be hidden exposure and depositors should remain well within FDIC insurance limits.
Highlights: User reviews on BestCashCow have in the past highlighted the availability of customer service by phone, although recent reviews are uniformly negative about customer service and note that representatives cannot be reached by chat or email.
What to watch for: Synchrony is no longer one of the most rate competitive online banks. In user reviews on BestCashCow, many have expressed frustration with its deteriorating service and long delays in processing cash transfers.
Savings Account - 0.50% APY, no minimum
Good for: Solid APY with No Minimum Balance
Overview: Barclays Bank Delaware is a division of the often-troubled UK-based Barclays PLC. In the US, its brand recognition emanates from its acquisition of Lehman Brothers, its name on an arena in Brooklyn, and its role as one of the credit card issuers for American Airlines. The US subsidiary does not have a branch network and the absence of those costs sometimes enables it to pass along competitive savings and CD rates to its customers.
Highlights: Barclays offers savings accounts with no minimum to open, 24/7 access to funds, online transfers to and from other banks, direct deposit and a mobile app.
What to watch for: Barclays Bank Delaware was not consistently competitive in raising its savings rates as the Federal Reserve increased rates in the late 2010s, but it aggressively cut its savings rate in 2019 and 2020. While it used to be a very strongly reviewed bank by BestCashCow’s users, more recent reviews cite slower ACH transfers than some competitors. With uncertainty around Brexit, BestCashCow strongly recommends that depositors at this U.S. subsidiary maintain deposits strictly within FDIC limits.
