4.5% And FDIC Insured To $2M
From Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilymason/2023/05/15/the-great-yield-chase-why-a-trillion-has-fled-traditional-bank-accounts/?sh=68c7bb8213cc&cdlcid=643067c1c4fa70c7256f67f5): "Fintech pioneer Betterment, for example, offers (through its bank partners) a “cash reserve” account that currently pays 4.5% and is FDIC insured for up to $2 million (or $4 million for a joint account). A growing number of fintechs offer more than $250,000 in FDIC insurance by spreading your money around to different banks."
Withdraw Issues
Had a terrible experience with Betterment. Tried to withdraw money from betterment to my approved external bank account and they placed a hold on my funds.
It took several weeks and many emails and phone calls to finally receive my funds. Meanwhile the entire time they were. holding my funds they paid no interest.
Stay away from Betterment, they are not worth the trouble.
Beware With Withdrawl
Beware putting money in, they will take it with no issue but to withdrawal, forget about it, they are making my life difficult to take out MY money, I have already provided my drivers license, statements from funding account and they are making more excuses.
Even worse now is that they removed my money from my account, wont allow to cancel the withdrawl and are not even paying me interest on that amount until they figure out what how to proceed.
They cant do anything over phone and only send emails
