Savings

By Terry Savage on October 31, 2024 | Chicken Money

On the bankrate.com site, there is a list of high-yield savings accounts, for example BMO shows a high yield savings account returning 4.6%.
Are these accounts safe? What should one be aware of with these accounts? I am thinking of transferring extra money that I have that
is only getting 0.5% in a regular savings account.
Thank you

Didn’t you ever hear me talk about Treasury Bills? I’ve been doing that for years — IOUs directly from the U.S. government.

Those high yielding bank CDs are FDIC insured up to the limits. But many require a higher deposit amount. And you don’t want to extend your maturities past 6 months.
