Ally Bank is a popular online bank that offers a variety of financial products, including a high-yield savings account and various certificates of deposit. The high-yield savings account in particular offers a competitive interest rate, making it a solid choice for consumers looking to earn a better return for an emergency fund.

Savers can also take advantage of Ally’s savings buckets, which lets them earmark portions of their high-yield savings account for different goals, like a new home or unexpected emergencies.

Ally was named the overall best bank as part of the 2024 Bankrate Awards.
