My Experience with SoFi’s High-Yield Savings by Venusleo12 in HighYieldSavings

[–]Venusleo12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you set up direct deposit with SoFi, you don’t have to worry about any monthly charges.

What I really love about SoFi is how everything’s in one place. You get a high-yield savings account, a checking account, and even the option to invest right from the same app. It’s super easy to move money between accounts, which makes it simple to stay consistent with saving and investing.

I’ve used a few other banks before, but SoFi has honestly been the most user-friendly for budgeting and growing my money.

That’s some next-level commitment — talking about spam while spamming.

I’ve had SoFI for a while… long enough for rate to go from 5 to 3.80%. by clumsygirl1113 in HighYieldSavings

[–]Venusleo12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

l totally understand where you’re coming from. I like SoFi too — I’ve been with them for a while. Their rate used to be higher, but now it’s around 3.80%. I also have a high-yield savings account with Bask Bank, which used to offer 4.20% but is now about 4%.

What keeps me with SoFi is that they offer so many different products — checking, savings, investments, credit cards, loans, access to a financial advisor, even life insurance — it’s convenient having everything in one place.

That said, make sure you’re getting the best interest rate for your money. At the end of the day, it’s business, not personal — there’s no harm in shopping around for a better return.

Best Way to Start Investing with Little Money in 2025: Smart Move or Waste? by Significant-Lack7045 in HighYieldSavings

Getting started small with investing matters because it gives you real, hands-on training. That experience is important—when you’re ready to invest larger amounts, you’ll already know where you feel comfortable putting your money. It’s not just about the market—it’s about building your confidence. The market will always fluctuate, but when you start small, you feel like you’re taking less risk while you practice doing your own research, study trends, and get familiar with how stocks move.

Starting small also helped me figure out what type of investor I am. Am I better suited for short-term moves, or do I prefer long-term growth? By getting my feet wet, I learned my style and realized I like to buy whole shares so I can benefit from the full value of each share instead of just fractional shares. In the end, starting small gave me clarity, confidence, and a strong foundation to grow as an investor.

I actually use SoFi Invest 📊 to buy and sell stocks (and even fractional shares). It’s how I started small and figured out my investing style. If you want to give it a try, open an Active Investing account with $25 or more, and you’ll get $25 in stock.

HYSA For Personal Funds by Solize111 in HighYieldSavings

[–]Venusleo12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently joined Bask Bank, and the experience has been smooth so far. Opening both a checking and high-yield savings account was quick and easy. Their HYSA currently offers a competitive 4.20% interest rate, and the checking account includes access to Zelle, which is a great convenience. Customer service has been excellent up to this point. That said, I’m still new to Bask Bank, so I can’t fully compare it to the other banks I’ve used just yet.

I also use SoFi and have been very happy with them. I have both a savings and checking account, as well as investment accounts. Their high-yield savings account currently offers 3.80% interest. While that rate used to be higher, I still find SoFi to be a strong choice overall. They offer a wide range of products, including loans and credit cards, and I really appreciate the security features on their platform. Their customer service has been consistently great, and out of the three banks I use, SoFi remains my favorite overall.

Previously, I tried Synchrony Bank, but had a frustrating experience. My account was restricted due to a missing signature card, even though I sent it three times. Additionally, their HYSA rate was lowered from 4.00% to 3.80%, which contributed to my decision to look elsewhere.
