Description

Discover the benefits of high-yield savings accounts amidst falling interest rates. Online banks offer rates up to four percent APY, ten times higher than the national average. These accounts are safe, insured by the FDIC, and ideal for short-term goals like a down payment or emergency fund. However, they may not be suitable for long-term investments due to potentially lower returns compared to market investments.
