SwitchWize Research

Best for

  • People switching from a big-bank savings account earning under 1%
  • Savers who want HYSA plus checking plus investing in one app
  • Anyone who receives direct deposit and wants to maximize yield
  • Emergency fund holders with $1K to $50K to park

Not ideal for

  • People who need branch access — SoFi is online-only
  • Savers with $5K+ who can commit 12 months — a CD at CIT beats this rate
  • Anyone who needs same-day cash withdrawal
⚠️ The top advertised SoFi rate requires qualifying direct deposit. Confirm the current non-qualifying rate before you open the account.
