November 2024: Savings and CD Rates Offer Up to 5.50% APY

TL;DR
Despite recent Federal Reserve rate cuts, high-yield savings accounts still offer competitive interest rates, with some reaching up to 5.00% APY. While the national average for savings accounts is 0.43%, online banks and credit unions provide better rates due to lower overhead costs and not-for-profit structures. These accounts are ideal for short-term savings goals, offering safety and liquidity, though they may not match the returns of market investments for long-term goals.
