03

★Best with branches

Capital One360 Performance Savings

Best for: People who want branch and Cafe access

No fees or minimums, the same rate on every balance, and branch or Cafe access. The APY loads live on the issuer page; check it there.

What we like

  • Branches and Capital One Cafes
  • Same rate on the whole balance

Watch out for

  • No ATM withdrawals from savings
  • Rate not shown in a static form, so compare on the day

Capital One’s rate loads live on its page, so we do not print a figure. It has no fees or minimums and pays the same rate on the whole balance. You cannot withdraw from savings at an ATM.

How to compare savings accounts

  • APY: The CFPB explains that APY reflects interest plus compounding over a year. Compare APYs, not interest rates.
  • Fees and minimums: All three list $0 monthly fees and $0 minimums.
  • Insurance: Confirm the bank is FDIC insured with the FDIC BankFind tool.
  • Rate trends: Savings rates tend to move with the Federal Reserve’s policy rate, so variable APYs can fall as well as rise.
