☆ If you haven't looked at your savings account lately, you're probably losing money
  + stars: | 2023-08-10 | by ( Jennifer Streaks | Senior Personal Finance Reporter | Read More | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Known for offering little to no interest, savings account interest rates have greatly increased as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates several times in 2022 and 2023 to combat inflation. The average savings account interest rate in the US is 0.42% APY, but the account you choose has a big impact on that rate. If you opened a savings account years ago and never looked again, it's likely you're not earning nearly as much as you could. I have my own version of a savings ladder using three savings accounts: an emergency fund, a high-yield savings account, and a savings account for a down payment on a home.

Given how much sleep consumers are losing these days with record inflation and gas prices, chasing after a better deal by moving your money to a high-yield savings account seems like one easy solution.
