The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Level One Bank is offering a ‘flash savings account’, this account earns 3.1% APY and the rate is guaranteed for six months

The Fine Print

• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

This account has a $6 monthly fee, this is waived with an average monthly balance of $250 or more.

Our Verdict

I think it’s fairly safe to assume that after the six month guaranteed period the APY on this will drop significantly. Because of that you’re really just locking in a six month CD at 3.1% APY, not the worst deal and could be useful for somebody with a lot of liquid cash but I doubt this will be a long term high yield savings account option.
