High-Yield Savings Accounts Offer Up To 4.50% APY Following Federal Reserve Hike

After the Federal Reserve’s first rate hike since 2023, many banks have not raised savings yields, leaving the average account rate at 0.37%. Online banks and credit unions offer more competitive high-yield savings accounts, with some rates above 4%; advertised offers can depend on eligibility, qualifying deposits and limited-time boosts, and rates may change.
The article advertised high-yield savings rates of up to 4.50% APY, providing a specific ceiling beyond the summary’s description of offers above 4%.
SoFi advertised up to 4.20% APY by adding a 0.90-percentage-point boost to its 3.30% APY; the boost was available for up to six months.
SoFi’s advertised boost required opening a first SoFi Checking and Savings account and receiving eligible direct deposits or qualifying deposits of $5,000 every 31 days by Dec. 31, 2026. The article also advertised cash bonuses of $50 or $400 alongside the savings-rate boost.
