they seem to be really good about raising rates. In the past year, Mysavingsdirect is now 4.38% They have raised my savings rate 5x. mysavingsdirect is now at 4.38%. UFB for the first time ever has raised the int on the MM acct to 5.02% w/o giving it another name and making the customer apply for another acct. Just saw this today!! Good for them. negative feedback on DOC probably worked and other sites too. I have 4 UFB accts with lower rates. I’m xferring into to this MM acct.

It’s comforting to know that banks are still raising rates even though short-term T-Bills took a bit of a dive and there are questions about the FED’s next move.

Some constraints on these rates.
The fed funds rate is 4.6%.

The 7 day yield of the Fidelity, premium money market fzdxx is 4.47%
There’s always a lag to the increases. Only an unexpected Fed rate cut would interrupt that process.
That’s the 7 day yield as of 2/28. It’s an infinitesimal difference but the current 7-day yield is 4.46%, or at least that is what it shows in my brokerage account.
The reason I mention it is that with the volatility we’ve seen recently, it’s possible that some funds might have a more notable, lower yield than what is showing on Fidelity’s fact sheet.

Wow! I bought a bit yesterday and just saw today’s yield. 8-week T-Bill is still OK compared to FZDXX.

This is a Rewards Checking account, so I know it is of limited interest to many. But First Financial Bank has raised their rate to 6% on balances up to $15k. Last I knew, it was at 2%. Requires 12 debit purchases/month.
Not sure if it’s really worth opening a new account for given the low maximum, but it’s consistently been one of the better RCAs for over a decade.

For those of you buying 4 week Treasuries – what are your plans now that even with CA tax taken into account, the 4 week is worse that the top bank accounts?
