Last verified September 9, 2026

We re-verify against the issuer's own page when we refresh this listing, and we stamp that date. We do not claim a daily check.

APYs are variable and can change at any time. The FDIC national average is a floor for what an ordinary savings account pays, not a competitor. Named comparisons use each product's last issuer-page check.

Is it worth it?

$300 a year on a $10,000 balance

At 3% APY, $10,000 earns about $300 in the first year, versus roughly $38 at the 0.38% FDIC national average (August 17, 2026). That is about $262 more for moving the same money. APY is variable and shown as of the date above.

What is Capital One 360 Performance Savings?

Editorial review
Capital One 360 Performance Savings is for savers who need physical access: it is the only major high-yield savings account with real cash-deposit rails through branches, cafes, and CVS. The honest verdict: buy it for access and bonuses, not the APY. The consensus rate is 3.00% APY as of mid-July 2026 (NerdWallet, CNBC Select updated July 15, and Forbes June 2 agree), with no minimum deposit, no minimum balance for the rate, and no monthly fee. Deposits are held directly at Capital One, N.A., Member FDIC, insured to $250,000 per depositor. Instant internal transfers, pairing with 360 Checking, kids' accounts, and tiered new-money bonuses up to $1,500 round out the package. The catches: the headline rate is mid-pack, and Capital One carries the history of the 360 Savings vs Performance Savings two-tier controversy that ended in a $425M settlement.
