This is a short and sweet reminder to get a high yield savings account (HYSA). It only takes 5 minutes to open one AND you'll get free money just for moving your savings into it. As long as it's FDIC insured, from your perspective it will act, feel and function like a regular old savings account (except you'll be paid interest for putting money in it).

Since the beginning of the year I've made $1000+ in interest from my HYSA, while literally doing nothing. If you don't have one yet, open yours today. Take action. It's free, easy to do and you will feel so accomplished once it's done!

Here are five banks that offer great high yield savings accounts in 2025:

1. CiT Bank 3.90% APY
2. Synchrony Bank 3.80% APY 
3. Marcus by Goldman Sachs: 3.65% APY 
4. Citizens Bank 3.50% APY 
5. Capital One 3.50% APY
   

All are member FDIC with zero monthly service fees.
