I'm sure the increased return on APY is not worth dealing with all the negatives of switching to this bank. Very minimal quality of life features in the app, like it was built in 2015. Very long holds they force onto your money, for the first month it's 10 days. After that, it's 5 days. So after 30 days you still have to wait the normal transaction time + the week long hold + the weekend before you can move, withdraw, or organize YOUR money. Pathetic, and embarrassing 🤷 stay away.

The interest rate for the HYSA is great. The three stars is for continued frustration over access to the money and issues with the app. New deposits are restricted from withdrawal. The HYSA has a $5000/day withdrawal max. Since I am using these accounts for emergency savings and property tax savings, the $5000 limit is frustrating. Also, the app is regularly "under maintenance" or experiencing some other problem, preventing me from creating a transfer.

So far does everything I want it to. Only four stars though as it's very difficult to get back into initially adding a transfer account (or at least it was when I installed it) . You have to enter the account information, then verify a couple of deposits... But the deposits are not instant, so you have to exit the app and come back later, and I couldn't find any sort of 'pick up where you left off' option. However once that was done, scheduling transfers is easy and the balance is easy to find.
