First Internet Bank Money Market Savings rounds out the list for savers with large balances. It pays 3.09% APY on daily balances of $1,000,000 or less and 3.88% APY above $1,000,000, which First Internet Bank compares with an FDIC national average of 0.63% as of October 19, 2026. You can open with $100, and the account rebates ATM surcharges up to $10 per month. First Internet Bank has run as an online bank since 1999 and offers a free checking account alongside it. It ranks last for this angle for three reasons. A $5 monthly maintenance fee applies unless the average daily balance stays at $4,000 or more. The savings page does not mention check writing, so savers who need checks should confirm it with the bank or pick Sallie Mae, Ally or UFB. And below $1 million its 3.09% APY is the lowest verified bank rate here.
