Editorial synthesis from industry coverage, product docs, and early user reports

Editorial policy

What is Forbright Growth Savings?

Editorial review
Forbright Growth Savings is no longer the 4% promo it was selling in July. The honest verdict: a clean mid-3s account from a conventional bank, with the 4.15% headline gone. Forbright's own Growth Savings page, accurate as of September 6, 2026, posts 3.85% APY, no fees, and no minimum deposits. Interest compounds daily. The $1,000 floor that used to gate the 4.15% promo is not on the live page. Deposits are held directly at Forbright Bank, Member FDIC, insured to $250,000 per depositor. The bank still runs a climate-focused lending mission centered on decarbonization. The catches: 3.85% is no longer a chart-topper (Pibank posts 4.10% with no minimums), Forbright is a savings-only shop with no ATM or checking, and a variable rate that just lost a promo can move again.
