The money in your savings account is FDIC insured and backed by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), so the government protects you against loss. You can\u2019t lose any money in your account as you might with an investment. The money is liquid, so you can use it whenever you want. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t already have a savings account, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/video\/289548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you should consider opening one<\/a>. With mobile banking, savers can open online accounts with traditional banks for easy access, wire transfers, check writing, and higher interest rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are plenty of in-person options for compound interest and high-yield savings accounts, savings account offers with low or no ATM fees, and check deposit insurance. With so many options, it makes sense to consider a savings account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-the-best-savings-accounts-in-2023\"><strong>What are the best savings accounts in 2023?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not particularly difficult to find a financial institution that offers a savings account to new or existing customers. Financial institutions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalance.com\/how-banks-make-money-315473\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">rely on savings accounts to grant loans and make money<\/a>. They commonly compete for your business and incentivize you to stash as much cash in their vaults as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These incentives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/419183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">might not be as lucrative as other saving options out there<\/a>. However, the low risk, accessibility, and simplicity of a traditional savings account make them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/314879\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a viable option for people of all ages<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the six best savings accounts currently available in 2023:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-1 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">1<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"marcus\"><strong>Marcus<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marcus-Goldman-Sachs.png\" alt=\"Marcus Goldman Sachs logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/Entrepreneur\/best-savings-marcus\/?sub-id=BestSavingsAccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/Entrepreneur\/best-savings-marcus\/?sub-id=BestSavingsAccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Marcus by Goldman Sachs<\/a> is a high-yield online savings account option. The key benefit to this savings account is that it can come with the highest rate of 2.7% APY(annual percentage yield), which is well above the national average for savings accounts. While this APY is only available in the Marcus Referred program, all others can still receive a competitive rate of 1.7% APY, which is a higher APY than the national average.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no minimum deposit or minimum balance requirements and no monthly maintenance fees. Marcus is a significant financial product, qualifying you to transfer up to $100,000 from other banks within the same day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main downside of using Marcus is that it\u2019s an online bank, so you\u2019ll encounter a few limitations in terms of convenience. For example, there are no physical branches or ATM access and the customer service support hours are limited. Also, there is no feature for writing checks or mobile deposits of checks. That means that all deposits will have to be transferred electronically or automated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-2 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">2<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"synchrony\"><strong>Synchrony<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Synchrony.png\" alt=\"Synchrony Logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/Entrepreneur\/best-savings-synchrony\/?sub-id=BestSavingsAccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/Entrepreneur\/best-savings-synchrony\/?sub-id=BestSavingsAccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Synchrony<\/a> is an online bank that offers a variety of consumer-financing options.

There are no monthly fees or minimum deposit requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the essential features of a Synchrony savings account is its very convenient use. For example, the mobile app allows you to deposit checks and make transfers whenever possible. There is also an optional ATM card that you can use to make cash withdrawals and other transactions at the various ATMs located around the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest drawback of Synchrony is that there are no brick-and-mortar banks. That means you have to be careful to use only ATMs within the Synchrony network to avoid potential fees. There is also no option for opening a checking account, so your account is strictly savings only. A balance of $0 for more than 60 days can result in your account being closed automatically.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-3 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">3<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"barclays\"><strong>Barclays<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Barclays-logo.png\" alt=\"Barclays logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/Entrepreneur\/best-savings-barclays\/?sub-id=BestSavingsAccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/Entrepreneur\/best-savings-barclays\/?sub-id=BestSavingsAccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Barclays<\/a> is a British financial institution best known for its credit cards. However, it\u2019s also a viable option for savings accounts. The interest rate on a Barclays savings account is around 1.8% APY, which is higher than the national average for savings account interest rates. No monthly fees or minimum balance requirements make statement cycles less stressful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mobile app will allow you to deposit checks, transfer funds, and look up your FICO score. Barclays also offers Savings Assistant tools that can help you to save money more effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main issues with Barclays is that there are only five branches nationwide.

The most significant benefit of using SoFi is that you\u2019ll receive an APY that can reach as high as 2%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no minimum balance requirements or monthly fees, and direct deposits can arrive up to two days early. SoFi uses the Allpoint ATM network and has more than 55,000 locations throughout the United States. Establishing a monthly direct deposit into your savings account could qualify you for a cash bonus worth up to $300.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest issue with SoFi is that cash deposits are only available through a third-party vendor. The vendor charges a fee that can cost as much as $4.95 for each deposit. Another issue is the fee for using ATMs that are out of network.
