High-yield savings accounts offer over 4% APY, despite dropping interest rates.

Savings account interest rates are dropping due to Federal Reserve cuts, but some high-yield accounts still offer over 4% APY. National average is only 0.42%. EverBank offers the highest rate at 4.3% without a minimum deposit. Online banks provide competitive rates due to lower overhead costs, while credit unions also offer high rates with fewer fees. Savings accounts are insured by FDIC or NCUA up to $250,000, but for long-term goals, consider higher risk investments like stocks. For short-term goals, high-yield savings accounts are a safe and accessible option.
