| Quorum’s HighQ Savings account pays a yield that’s well above the national average, and there is no minimum deposit requirement. The $10 monthly service fee is waived for those who sign up for e-statements. | Alliant Credit Union offers several savings accounts, including a high-yield savings account pays a robust APY. The ability to create up to 19 named savings accounts sets Alliant apart from many competitors who typically limit additional accounts or charge fees for them. This feature is particularly valuable for users who prefer to separate their savings goals visually rather than just tracking them within a single account. Account holders must maintain an average monthly balance of at least $100 to earn interest. A minimum balance of $5 is required to keep the account open. | |

Bankrate staff insight
"Overall, Quorum is working well so far for my purposes, which is having an easy-to-use HYSA that offers a relatively high APY,” said a Bankrate staff member with a Quorum account. “I feel like this account would be most useful for people who want the customer service of a credit union, but don’t need all the bells and whistles while doing online banking that larger financial institutions might offer. I used both the app and desktop site pretty easily. I especially liked that there was a budgeting feature, but it was far more bare-bones than what my main bank, Chase, offers."
