Avoiding Fees

Our Verdict

Quite a lot of requirements to earn the 4.07% APY rate, but the maximum of $15,000 is nice and it looks like any ACH credit will trigger the direct deposit requirement. We need to know if this is a hard or soft pull, but regardless this will be added to the best high yield savings accounts.
