Current (Fintech) has launched a new a paid membership tier that costs $10 per month and promises:
- 3x points per $1 spent on dining and groceries (normally 1x)
- 6% APY on savings pods (normally 4% APY)
- Priority Voice support
- Choice of 10 additional benefits (didn’t see this in the e-mail fwded to me but reader Daniel mentions it)?
You can have up to $2,000 per savings pod, up to a maximum of $6,000. Both the 3x earn rate and 6% APY rate need an Eligible Payroll Deposits over a rolling 35-day period must be $200 or more. An extra 2% APY on $6,000 is $120 annually so this just offsets the $10 monthly fee. Higher basic rates are available with less work though so not very attractive for most people unless you want Max for the 3x earn rate.
