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.

What is Elevault High-Yield Savings?

Editorial review
Elevault tops the 2026 APY charts with a transparent, formula-driven rate, if you can tolerate drip-funding your balance $2,500 a day. The honest verdict: the best rate in the market with a mechanical guarantee it will not be quietly cut, offset by a real funding bottleneck and a thin track record. The account pays 4.34% APY on balances up to $500,000 as of July 4, 2026, set formulaically at Prime minus 2.50%, with interest paid daily. There is no minimum deposit, no minimum balance for the rate, and no monthly fee. Elevault is a fintech; deposits pass through to Southern Bancorp, Member FDIC, insured to $250,000 per depositor. Because there is a single program bank, there is no extended coverage. The catches: a $2,500 daily deposit limit makes moving real money slow, the fintech is young with a thin track record, and FDIC coverage is single-bank only.
