To Get 4.66% APY You Need BOTH Checking & Savings Accounts
I wanted to open a high interest Axos savings account currently offering 4.66% APY. When I called I was told I MUST open both a checking AND a savings account to obtain the 4.66% APY. So, for people looking to open both types of account, this would be a good option. They have a separate savings only account offering 4.01% APY.
Questions About Current Experience
The reviews on this bank are relatively old (and generally bad). Does anyone have recent experience.
DA site shows a "Axos One Savings Special" account at 4.86 APY. Is that valid.
Their general website shows . (Point) 61%. They seem to have it highly advertised, but it technically is just over 1/2 of ONE PERCENT as listed.
Under a google search, they come up big with an ad stateing "Your 4.86 APY" is here and further state a 4.86 APY for savings coupled with a .51APY on checking.
Anybody have recent info on them.
(As I have no information on them, I have just rated them neutral)
Misleading APY On HYSA
I got excited when I saw the high interest rate on their HYSA but decided to call them to ask how long they anticpate offering it. Turns out that you have to make a minimum $1,500/month direct deposit, or transfer $5K into it every month to get the advertised rate, and also maintain some minimum balance in a checking account that pays no interest. It looks like it would be a full time job managing this. Waaay to complicated.
This Bank Is AMAZING - Cannot Understand The Bad Reviews
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bank. They don’t even advertise all of their cool features. First you can use any Allpoint Atm at CVS to withdraw and DEPOSIT cash for FREE. Up to $1000 per transaction. NOT per day. Per transaction. So I can move a lot of money for free. The cash is always in my account and available in seconds. They have paper checks, in and out wire transfers, FDIC insured, bill pay, and will increase your daily limits for large transactions upon request. They have tons of banking products and their app is awesome. NO FEES EVER I cannot say enough good things. So happy.
