Rates have been on the rise in recent years, and you can earn even more if you know where to look. For instance, online banks<\/a><\/span> and credit unions often pay much higher rates than brick-and-mortar banks.<\/p>\n The highest yield on a standard account with a $2,500 minimum deposit is 5.84%, according to data from Curinos.

Last week, the highest yield was 5.84%.<\/p>\n Today’s average APY<\/a><\/span> for a traditional savings account is 0.22%, Curinos says. APY, or annual percentage yield, accurately represents the actual amount your account will earn during one year. It factors in compound interest, which is the interest that builds up on the interest in your account.<\/p>\n High-yield savings accounts<\/a><\/span> typically pay substantially more interest than conventional savings accounts. But the trade-off is you may have to jump through some hoops to earn that higher rate, such as becoming a member of a credit union<\/a><\/span> or putting down a large deposit.<\/p>\n On high-yield accounts requiring a minimum deposit of $10,000, today’s best interest rate is 4.88%. That’s about the same as one week ago.<\/p>\n The average APY for those accounts is now 0.23%, unchanged from a week ago.<\/p>\n On high-yield accounts requiring a minimum deposit of $25,000, the highest available rate today is 4.22%.

That was in response to record-breaking inflation that had prices rising at a rate of over 14% annually.<\/p>\n In the early 1980s, a three-month CD went as high as 18% compared to around 5% today, according to Federal Reserve data. Savings rates eventually fell as inflation cooled and the federal funds rate was brought back down.<\/p>\n Curinos determines the average rates for savings accounts by focusing on those intended for personal use. Certain types of savings accounts<\/a><\/span>\u2014such as relationship-based accounts and accounts designed for youths, seniors and students\u2014are not considered in the calculation.<\/p>\n
