Find Marcos beyond Bankrate

Marcos wants you to know

Interest rates on deposit products, like certificates of deposit, money market and savings accounts, have skyrocketed over the past year. But not all banks have made the shift, including some of the largest in the U.S. As such, many consumers are still clinging to accounts that offer yields much lower than the national average. If you’re looking for a new savings account, make sure to look around, as you can easily find robust yields at online-only banks.

Marcos's recommended readings

You’ll grow your savings much faster with a robust interest rate, and they’re easier to find than you might think.
