EverBank Performance Savings tops this list on the number most savers compare first: the account page lists a 4.20% APY for new accounts on all balances, which EverBank puts at 11 times the 0.38% national average. There is no balance tier to clear, no opening deposit and no monthly maintenance fee, and mobile check deposits are free. Interest compounds daily. The bank also publishes its own balance sheet figures on the page, including $45.8B in assets and $38.4B in deposits as of September 30, 2026. What you do not get is the extra tooling some rivals add: the page does not describe savings buckets, automatic round ups or a bundled checking account, and the account is sold only online and by phone. The rate is labeled for new accounts, so if you already bank with EverBank, confirm the rate on your own account before moving money. For someone who wants a plain, high, flat rate and nothing to manage, it is the strongest pick here.
