When you put your money into a bank account, not only do you want your hard earned cash to be safe — you also want it to grow.

Yet the money you earn in interest at most banks these days is downright pitiful. You’ll be lucky if you earn a quarter at the end of the year.

But an online bank called Vio has one of the highest earning rates you’ll see — up to 110% higher than other high-yield bank accounts. That could be some serious interest in your account every month.

Earn 5.30% APY* on Your Savings

If you’re looking for a solid bank to keep your savings in and earn more interest on it, Vio is an online-only bank offering 5.30% APY* (Annual Percentage Yield) to help your money grow in a money market. Other high-yield savings accounts’ interest rates don’t come close — the closest is more than 50% less.

Not only does it pay well, but it also costs nothing to open an account (but you do need to transfer at least $100 to keep it open).

Security is also top notch. You can depend on bank-level encryption, FDIC insurance up to $250,000, with the highest level security you can obtain.

There’s a reason why Vio has been named the best high-yield savings account by websites like Fox Business, CNet and CNBC. And it has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
