Ally just dropped their HYSA rates again and honestly im tired of this cycle
Ally HYSA and Money Market Account Interest Drop to 4.25%
Is Ally Banking Safe? Why is interest so high
Is ally bank the best option for HYSA?
I logged in this morning and saw ally went down to like 3.85%. I know I know thats still way better than chase or whatever but its just frustrating watching it slowly tick down every few months when inflation is still doing its thing.
I have about 14.8k sitting there, its basically my e-fund plus some extra savings I'm building for eventual house downpayment. I started really focusing on saving about two years ago and felt smart moving it out of my brick and mortar bank. Now I'm questioning if im even doing this right or just spinning my wheels.
My coworker said she moved some of her savings into stablecoin, earning closer to 7 or 8 percent. She doesn’t do protocols herself and uses yieldclub instead I think, although honestly I’m not sure if I understood her correctly, she could have said that she does both But idk if thats too risky for an emergency fund? like whats the actual difference between that and just chasing the next hysa promo rate. I need not only theoretical liquidity but also I need to trust the platform will not interfere with me withdrawing my money in the case of, well, an emergency obviously. Sorry this is kind of rambly, been a long week at work and seeing that rate drop notification just set me off lol
I guess im wondering how others think about this. Do you just accept hysa rates are gonna fluctuate and deal with it, or are people actually diversifying into other stuff for their savings? And if so, is the stablecoin stuff the way to do it cause I can’t tell if it’s just the next wave of crypto hype with a makeover?
I checked on my Ally accounts today and noticed on the website that the HYSA and money market savings account interest has dropped to 4.25%. So far my account is still showing 4.35%. I guess we will be getting an email from Ally soon about this. Discover dropped their rate again on yesterday to 4.25% also.
