How Discover savings accounts compare with top-yielding banks

Discover’s high-yield online savings account offers a competitive interest rate, which comes without a monthly fee or a minimum deposit requirement, though higher rates on savings can be found at other online banks.

Other savings options at Discover

Discover also offers a money market account and a broad range of certificates of deposit (CDs), if you’re looking for other options for your savings. The money market account pays a slightly lower interest rate than the savings account.
