3 savings moves to make post-Fed rate hike (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Savers on Thursday woke up to a new financial climate marked by the first interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve in more than three years. Now at a range between 3.75% and 4.00%, a new, higher federal funds rate is expected to lead to even higher rates for savers than they've already been accustomed to in recent years. And while that change will look different based on the account type and the bank in question, savers are undoubtedly now entering a more profitable period, especially if the

Read excerpt
There's more money to be earned by savers again. That was one of the major takeaways this week after the Federal Reserve increased its benchmark interest rate for the first time since 2023. A higher rate from the central bank will inevitably lead to higher rates on borrowing products and select savings accounts. That could lead to significant interest-earning opportunities, particularly if you use a certificate of deposit (CD) account, which already came with rates in the low 4% range before the

Read excerpt

Read excerpt
For the first time since the summer of 2023, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates on Wednesday. The central bank's benchmark interest rate now sits at a range from 3.75% to 4.00%. That's a stark reversal from what Americans saw in September 2025 and in September 2024, when the Fed actually cut rates both times. And it means that the approach both borrowers and savers have had in recent years may no longer work, particularly if Wednesday's latest rate hike is the first of a series, as it may
Here's why a high-yield savings account is worth opening this week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the first time since July, the Federal Reserve will meet this week to determine the future of interest rate policy in the United States. And with inflation sticky, many expect the central bank to issue its first interest rate hike since 2023. With a 94.5% likelihood that the benchmark interest rate will be hiked by 25 basis points, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, both borrowers and savers will want to consider making some strategic moves now. And for savers, in particular, keepin
