SPREADSHEET
The attached spreadsheet lists the 100 current best rates offered on nationally available savings accounts and Money Market accounts as of February 7, 2025.
Roger Bank obviously is increasing their level of new money, forcing them to make a change, because being such a tiny bank they eventually most likely can't keep affording to pay that high rate. Effective today, they have implemented a new rule regarding interest payout. It used to be you could have any balance over $250,000 and earn interest on all the money. But now, the amount of your balance over $250,000 does not earn any interest (0% APY).
