A savings account is designed to be a place where you can keep your money for short periods of time. This may also be the place where you pool your emergency fund so that you can get your money out without too much effort. Saving account interest rates are often a little bit higher than checking account rates. A savings account does not grant you the liberty of writing checks, but you can take out your money through a debit card or an ATM machine.

A savings account is also a starting point of building up your money or your savings. There are several types of savings accounts offered by most banks today. The ordinary savings account earns a minimum amount of interest and it does offer you the convenience of getting your money easily. Most banks also offer a combination of a checking and a savings account. The interest rate on this type of account is often lower than an ordinary savings account. A high interest rate savings account earns more interest than both types of savings account.

High interest rate savings accounts are offered by banks if you deposit a minimum amount to your account. Interest rates as well as the minimum required amount may vary from one banking institution to another. You also need to maintain the required minimum amount else there would be fees. Taking your money out from a high interest savings account may also take a couple of days.

High interest rate savings accounts are also popular in online banks or banks who do their business by phone. Since these institutions do not have physical offices and they do not provide the usual banking paraphernalia like check books and bank books, their costs are lower than a brick-and-mortar bank. Choosing the best high interest savings account is also fast and easy since the information is available online. It is easy to compare the interest rates these online banks offer.
