January 7, 2016: Today I moved money from a savings account that was only paying 0.75% to Star One where I will get 0.85%.   The best rate available today is 1.05% HERE.

It is a good idea to have CDs in several banks, especially if you hare more money than the FDIC limit.   I also like to have most of my money in banks and credit unions where I can walk in and get my money should there be some disaster or attack on the banking system, perhaps taking down the internet.

It also makes sense to have money where you get the top rates such as Synchrony Bank (spun off from GE Financial) which the advertisement below says you can get 1.05%
