Today's High-Yield Savings Rates for June 9, 2025: Up to 4.66%
Getting the best rate as a saver has been a little more difficult since the Federal Reserve started cutting its benchmark rate toward the end of 2024. Since the beginning of 2025, Fed officials have adopted a wait-and-see approach due to concerns about tariffs and economic conditions. The May announcement continues the pattern of keeping the rate on hold until there's more data on market responses to trade policy.
With the average savings account paying 0.42%, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), it might feel a little bleak for savers. However, high-yield savings accounts still offer a way to get a little more yield. The best high-yield savings account pays a much higher yield.
Indeed, the top rate from a national bank is 4.66% APY, according to DepositAccounts.com. Locally, you might be able to check with a credit union or community bank. For example, ConnectOne Bank in New York offers an APY of 4.00% if you have at least $2,500 deposited.

BlackRock, Goldman Scale Up Tax Trades in $3 Trillion SMA Boom
This year's stock market turbulence has punished ordinary investors. But for the wealthy, it's opened up fresh opportunities to convert equity swings into tax breaks — fueling a growing Wall Street business that turns volatility into a financial advantage. BlackRock Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley are among firms scaling up a strategy known as tax-loss harvesting, typically offered through customized portfolios called separately managed accounts. When markets drop, managers sell stocks trading below their purchase price to realize losses. Those losses offset gains elsewhere in a portfolio, reducing clients' tax liabilities while maintaining overall portfolio exposure.
