There's a ton of reputable larger online banks giving 2.5 to 3% interest. Having a chase, wells fargo, or bofa savings account with 0.0X% is unfortunate. They are just preying on older or less financially savy customers.

And to have the gall of touting "overdraft protection" as though it were some sort of feature and not the solution to the problem they themselves invented
And yes, I have a checking account at one of the major banks, I also have a savings account that I keep zero money in because it was opened at the same time decades ago. Having a checking account doesn't seem to be a rip off, my money lands there and then transfers to better pastures. I just don't understand keeping any money in their savings account.
Like if I kept my emergency fund there rather than in a couple online banks, I'd basically be paying the retail bank $800+ a year. Sounds like a scam.
