high yield savings

Better-rate deposit account

High yield savings refers to savings accounts that pay interest rates significantly above the national average, typically offered by online banks with lower overhead costs.

The "high yield" is relative—rates that seem modest still outpace traditional bank offerings: I moved my emergency fund to a high yield savings account.

Often abbreviated HYSA in personal finance discussions.
