How To Grow Your Money Fast

1 OPEN A HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT

Most traditional savings accounts offer an interest rate of around 0.03%. But if you’re willing to say goodbye to a brick-and-mortar location, you could earn more than 2% interest with online banks like WebBank (webbank.com) and Vio Bank (viobank.com). “Online banks have less overhead, so they’re able to offer you better interest rates,” explains Andrea Woroch, a consumer-savings expert. Check bankrate.com to see where you’ll get the most interest, and pick a bank that is FDIC insured.
