CONNECTICUT SAVINGS ACCOUNT ENVIRONMENT

There are several factors that can affect the savings rates offered to consumers in Connecticut. These include:

1. Monetary policy: The decisions made by the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates can have a significant impact on the savings rates offered to consumers. When interest rates are low, savings rates tend to be lower as well.

2. Economic conditions: The overall state of the economy can influence the savings rates offered by financial institutions. In times of economic growth and stability, savings rates might be higher as there is a greater demand for loans and investment opportunities. On the other hand, during economic downturns, savings rates might be lower to encourage spending and stimulate economic activity.

3. Market competition: The level of competition among financial institutions in Connecticut can also affect the savings rates offered to consumers. When there is intense competition, banks may offer higher savings rates to attract and retain customers.

4. Inflation rate: The rate of inflation is an important factor in determining the savings rates offered to consumers. If the inflation rate is higher, financial institutions may adjust their savings rates to ensure that the real rate of return after inflation remains attractive.

5. Regulatory environment: The regulations and policies set by state and federal authorities can impact the savings rates offered to consumers. These regulations aim to ensure that financial institutions operate in a safe and fair manner, but they can also influence the rates at which banks can lend and borrow money, thus affecting savings rates.

6. Customer demand: The demand for loans and investments can also influence the savings rates offered. If there is a high demand for loans, financial institutions might lower savings rates to allocate more funds toward lending.

It is important to note that these factors can vary over time and may interact with each other, leading to fluctuations in the savings rates offered to consumers in Connecticut.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LOCAL SAVINGS RATES

Why do savings rates vary so much?

Even though rates are at levels that are historically very low, there is competition for your money. Like any active marketplace, there are buyers and sellers of goods and services at different prices. Banks have different cost structures and they also have different needs for capital. This leads to different rates.

BestCashCow’s surveys show that online banks offer higher savings and CD rates because they have lower expenses from not having to maintain brick-and-mortar locations. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all depositors consider the rates at online banks as savings and money market accounts online can easy be set up to enable quick transfers to your favorite local bank.

What is the difference between a savings account and a money market account?

The differences between a savings account and a money market account are largely arcane. Some money market accounts offer more ways access deposits by issuing checks and debit cards, but prudent consumers will compare the two interchangeably, focusing primarily on rates and service among FDIC-insured banks (or NCUA-insured, for credit unions). Most savvy consumers who plan their expenses and financial needs ahead find the additional functionality offered by money markets to be of little value and will choose whichever account (savings or money market) has the higher rate.

What does annual percentage yield (APY) mean?

Savings rates are displayed in terms of APY to indicate the effective annual-interest return, including the compounding of interest, of the course of a single year. $100,000 deposited in a savings or CD account with a 1.20% APY will earn $1,200 in the course of the year, but monthly interest in the first few months may be less than $100 a month (this also depends on the number of days in the month). Hence, the APY rate is ordinarily a couple of basis points above the real interest rates. Unlike with a Certificate of Deposit, your actual APY in a savings may vary if the rate changes.

How do I choose the right savings account and should I consider CDs?

Begin your search with the table here on BestCashCow.com that you have found. In addition to checking online savings rates, you should also check local bank rates and local credit union rates. If you are unlikely to require access to your cash for some time, you may also consider certificates of deposit (CDs). While CDs have penalties for early withdrawal that may even eat into your principal, the rates on 2, 3, 4 and 5 year CDs are ordinarily significantly higher than savings rates. Several other sections and articles on BestCashCow can also help you to identify your proper cash allocation between savings and CDs. Access these below. You should also familiarize yourself with our Savings & CD Calculator in order to understand the importance of compounding interest at higher rates on your savings over time.

8 POINT CHECKLIST FOR A GREAT BANKING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR LOCAL BANK

Find a bank with a location convenient to you. Location counts.
Choose a bank with good rates. Rates are important to get continued growth of your capital.
Choose a bank with an extensive network of fee-free ATM machines or which reimburses out-of-network ATM fees, if you still need to regularly access cash.
Avoid fees. Choose a bank which doesn’t have service fees provided you maintain a certain balance, which doesn’t charge for ACH inbound and outbound transfers, and which has low fees for things like international wire transfers and bounced checks.
Choose a healthy bank. If you click on a bank above, you’ll be taken to the bank’s financial detail. A healthy bank has happy employees and provides loyal service to its customers. No matter how healthy your bank is, stay within FDIC insurance limits.
Find something of value to offset what may be slightly lower rates than online accounts offer. Develop personal relationship with your bankers. Personal relationships can help you to get appropriate financial advice, and to navigate financial challenges and needs in the future. (Be careful with the financial advice you receive. Inappropriate financial advice is worth a lot less than no financial advice.) They can also put you in touch with others in your community who could be valuable personally and professionally to know. If you don't use your local savings account as an opportunity to build these relationships, you may find that you are better of banking online.
Choose a bank that is going to let you access your cash when you need. The great benefit of savings accounts over any other financial product (including CDs) is that you have absolute liquidity. If your bank in creating impediments to accessing your cash (paperwork, fees, etc.), then you need another bank.
Be aware that you can have more than one account. Having a great local savings account at a large or small bank near you can be great, but it doesn't need to stop you from opening one or more online savings accounts, or even developing a relationship with another local bank or credit union.
