Savings – Forbes Advisor – Technologist

To create this list, Forbes Advisor analyzed 73 savings accounts at 53 financial institutions, including a mix of traditional brick-and-mortar banks, online banks and credit unions. We ranked each institution on 12 data points within the categories of APY, fees, customer experience, digital banking experience and minimum requirements.

Here’s the weighting assigned to each category:

• APY: 30%
• Fees: 40%
• Customer experience: 10%
• Digital experience: 10%
• Minimums: 10%

We also considered whether there were complex tier structures or requirements to earn the APY. To be on this list, the savings account must be nationally available.
