How we built this tool

How we rank these

Step 1

APY is the headline โ€” not the whole story

We show APY first because it's the most comparable number. But the top-APY account isn't always the right account โ€” SoFi's headline rate needs direct deposit, Wealthfront pairs with investing, Ally's buckets beat a single pile of cash.

Step 2

FDIC insurance is non-negotiable

Every account on this list carries FDIC (or NCUA) coverage up to standard limits โ€” $250K per depositor, per institution, per ownership category. Wealthfront goes further, spreading deposits across partner banks for multi-million coverage.

Step 3

Your priority picks โ€” not the top line

The recommendation above reflects what YOU said matters. Highest APY, simplest account, branches you can walk into, goal-organizing buckets, or an all-in-one bundle โ€” each routes to a different pick.
