| Would appreciate recommendations for FDIC-insured banks (local not necessary) that give great interest rates for plain vanilla savings accounts. Looking to stay liquid but get better rates than at my local credit union. |
| Goldman Sach’s online banking Marcus is the best I have found. It used to be owned by GE. |

Many of the online savings banks have great rates. I've moved money into Ally Bank recently.

| Marcus at Goldman. 1.85% for their high yield and excellent CD rates also. Couldn't be easier to set up. |
| Make sure to read up on the bank and make sure it automatically increases your interest rate when rates move. There is one bank and of course now I forget the name of it but you get a high rate initially but whenever rates increase it changes the name of its product and gives that product the higher interest rate so in order to get the best rates you have to constantly open new accounts. |
| Citizen's Access does 2% as long as you keep at least $5,000 in account. Very easy to open, I just did it last week. |
