Bask Bank Increases Interest Rates to 4.15% APY (January 2023)

Borrowers have enjoyed a long run of historically low-interest rates, but the time for savers has finally come. Federal Reserve officials raised the federal funds rate again on December 14th, 2022, for the seventh time this year. The rate increased by half a percentage point, which nudged financial institutions to increase the interest rates they pay savers on deposit accounts.

Bask increased the APY on its high-yield savings account to 4.15%. Bask Interest Savings Account is a high-yield savings account that offers a competitive annual percentage yield (APY) and allows customers to earn more than with most checking and savings accounts. In addition to a high APY, Bask does not charge monthly or transfer fees.

Note that the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for the Bask Bank Interest Savings Account is variable and may change at any time. However, Bask Bank does not require a minimum balance to earn APY. So, you will start earning interest even if you have a modest balance.

A 4.15% APY is very high compared to the average rate on savings accounts (0.30% APY as of December 19, 2022). However, there are other savings accounts with similar rates.

Cash is not the only benefit you can get for depositing savings in a Bask Bank savings account.
