Our Verdict

Savings rates are 0.15%. In terms of the savings bonus you’re better off putting the funds into a high yield savings account earning 5%+ instead (e.g if you put the $100,000 required for a $600 bonus in a 5% account you’d earn $800+). 3 month share certificate is 3.92%, again you’re better off putting the funds into a high yield savings account ($1250 in a 5% account and $1130 total in the share certificate on the lowest tier and gets worse as you go up). The $150 direct deposit bonus is worth considering for some.
