3 THINGS TO REMEMBER
- When interest rates go up, savings rates go up too
- When picking an online bank to park your savings consider the following: savings rate (how much the bank will reward you for parking your money there), ease of use (how easy it is to access your money), your experience (how fast you can make transfers, mobile app).
- The first thing you should do before considering moving your money to an online bank is to check the savings rate your current bank is offering you and compare it to what other online banks are offering.
