Quoted rates are based on the highest clicked-on rate for each savings type. For banks and credit unions offering the top rates, check out our list of the best high-yield savings accounts.
Savings Rates Today: Traditional Savings Account
Traditional savings accounts, called “statement savings accounts” within the banking industry, have been known for paying teensy interest in recent years. That’s gradually changing, thanks to the Fed’s campaign of interest rate hikes to combat inflation.
The highest interest rate on a standard savings account within the last week has been 4.35%, according to data from Bankrate.com. If you spot a basic savings account with a rate in that general area, you’ve found a good deal.
The national average rate is just 0.35%, according to the most recent data from the FDIC, the government agency that insures bank deposits. But today’s average APY for a traditional savings account is 1.27%, Bankrate says, and that’s up from 1.16% a week ago.
APY, or annual percentage rate, reflects the actual return your account will earn during one year. It factors in compound interest, which is the interest that builds up on the interest in your account.
Savings Rates Today: High-Yield Savings Account
High-yield savings accounts generally pay substantially higher interest than a conventional savings account. But the catch is you’ll have to meet tough requirements set by the bank or credit union. Often, that means making a large deposit to open the account.
The average APY for high-yield accounts requiring a minimum deposit of $10,000 is now 0.24% APY, the same as a week ago.
The current average is 0.49% APY for a high-yield account with a $25,000 minimum deposit. That’s the same as last week’s APY.
Savings Rates Today: Money Market Account (MMA)
Money market accounts are savings accounts that offer some of the perks of checking accounts. Typically, you can write checks and enjoy debit card privileges.
MMAs tend to pay marginally higher interest than a standard savings account. The FDIC says the average MMA rate is 0.48%, versus 0.35% for a traditional savings account.
But within the last week, the best money market accounts have paid rates as high as 4.65%.
The average APY for an MMA is now 0.48%, the same as this time last week, according to Bankrate.

How High Can Savings Rates Go?
That’s tough to say—it depends on the path of inflation and the overall economy.
The highest interest rates in recent memory were seen in 1980 and ‘81, when the Fed sent its federal funds rate soaring above 19%. That was in the face of runaway inflation that had prices rising at an annual rate of more than 14%.
In the early 1980s, the typical five-year CD was paying close to 12%, compared to less than 2% today, according to Bankrate data. Savings rates would eventually fall as inflation cooled off and the federal funds rate was brought back down.
