    This is a reupload from last week. I wanted to correct some information from the last video! ❤

    CIT and Ally can take a while to transfer money and you might lose interest while in transit (basically your money disappears for couple of days). It can be 2-3 days of interest.

    Hi marissa just wanted to let you know. If you open a savings connect account with cit bank. Once you have 5000.00 cit bank will pay the 5.05 percent

    Do you have to open a checking account with the savings connect to acquire that 4.6?

  • @JourneyontheTrail
    @JourneyontheTrail 7 місяців тому +6

    Wish they had the different buckets like Ally Bank but the current over .75% better interest rate @ CIT definitely makes me think we'll just use a spreadsheet to track our savings buckets lol. Definitely use your link to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

    • @TheBudgetingWife
      @TheBudgetingWife  7 місяців тому +2

      Totally agree! It would be awesome if they added it. Thanks for using my link! 😊

    @michigan1777 4 місяці тому +3

    So it sounds like you should open up a platinum account and a saving connect account so if you dip below that 5k threshold, youre still earning solid interest

  • @JohnPaulGordillo
    @JohnPaulGordillo 4 місяці тому +2

    Can you open multiple savings accounts? Some banks like Sofi only allow you one but they give you "vaults" so you can have multipe savings goals

    Bask Bank is a fantastic high yield account with 5.1% APY. Just sharing!

    Hi , do you still feel comfortable at CIT. Thank you

  • @KarenWicki
    @KarenWicki 6 місяців тому +2

    Thank you for the video!!! What happens if you want to take the money out and close the account?

    • @TheBudgetingWife
      @TheBudgetingWife  6 місяців тому +6

      No fees for opening or closing an account. 😊 you can just transfer the funds to a different bank if you’d like! We still use our regular checking account at a different establishment and then have this CIT account as well.

    How is it possible for Marcus Goldman Sacks to be able to do same day transfers and all other high yield savings account 3 to 5 days

  • @liveurfabexistence
    @liveurfabexistence 7 місяців тому +4

    Thanks for the video! Quick question do they offer joint accounts or beneficiaries for their high yielding savings account?

    Hey! Before I go ahead and use your afiliate link. I want to ask about your honest opinion on " how do you find this savings account so far?"
    Thanks !

    • @TheBudgetingWife
      @TheBudgetingWife  4 місяці тому +1

      Hey! It’s been great! I’m going to do an update video soon! I’ve been using CIT Bank for 6 months now. Earned great interest, paid no fees, and it was super easy to transfer to my other bank account and also wire transfer funds (fee-free) for the purchase of our home! Would highly recommend. And thanks for using my link. 😊

    I think I'm going to move someo f my money from ally savings to this for a bit.

  • @dennisswanberg1718

    I heard it's a pain to deal with CIT customer service ,any input on that.
    Thank you.

      Pain in the butt or in the wallet? 😂

    • @rdeg94
      @rdeg94 6 місяців тому +2

      I saw that too, when I searched the topic on reddit, but most comments were from about a year ago (which, if you remember, is right when interest rates started really getting good). I'm wondering if the shoddy service was due to a huge leap in demand or if they are always bad with that?

    • @dennisswanberg1718
      @dennisswanberg1718 6 місяців тому

      So what you think yes, no
      Thanks

    • @claudiameyer6254

      I agree that dealing with CIT customer service is a pain as of today, April 2024. Having said that, if your money is earning higher interest, it might be worth staying with CIT.

  • @tiffm1704

    I opened an account with CIT bank last week. I was wondering how often the interest is compounded and when the interest is added to your bank account.

  • @fruitfullynourishing

    Do you have to pay taxes on the interest earned?

    • @andrewpham6089
      @andrewpham6089 6 місяців тому

      Yes

      You have to pay taxes in America on any income received. The IRS says you need to report every dollar.
      Dumb question from u. Sorry.

    What is CIT Bank’s customer service like?

      Great! I have messaged them in the portal and they have responded that day.

    $50k will earn $2500 year if rates stay at 5% or buy Tesla stock and hold long term. Look up returns on that last 5 years.

    • @TheBudgetingWife
      @TheBudgetingWife  5 місяців тому +8

      But the stock market is not a good place to keep your emergency fund. A high yield savings account is.

    • @Mikee027
      @Mikee027 4 місяці тому +1

      This is why you do both.

  • @angiewolf8189
    @angiewolf8189 7 місяців тому +1

    Remember to save out for taxes on the dividends. Sucks so bad. 😢

    • @TheBudgetingWife
      @TheBudgetingWife  7 місяців тому +6

      Yup! You will owe taxes. But I’d rather make more money to pay a little extra in taxes. 😊

  • @steng2495

    Damn $200,000 in a HYSA is so crazy. Wouldn’t you be better off investing some of that?

  • @thehomeless_trucker
    @thehomeless_trucker 7 місяців тому +5

    Be assured that nobody I've asked can actually name a true emergency over $300 that requires an immediate payment in cash... I'll give half credit for bail money for someone else because not all jails accept cards yet.. lol and of course if the girl scouts rob you and leave behind cookies...

    • @TheBudgetingWife
      @TheBudgetingWife  7 місяців тому +4

      Totally. It can usually wait a couple days.

    • @BethAnnesBest
      @BethAnnesBest 7 місяців тому +3

      I agree normally you can put it on a credit card and then move the money in enough time to pay off the card.
