The good news is that $100K may be enough for them to waive monthly fees; the bad news is that you may have to keep a chunk of that money in low- or no-interest accounts. Interest on Money Market accounts is in the 0.5% range. Shorter-term CDs (12-24 months) max out around 2%. Laddering them takes a bit of time and effort to set up the sequence; and at the beginning, much of your $$ will be in very-short-term CDs or holding accounts with lower interest. Of course, YMMV depending on type of bank (brick, online, credit union...) and current special offers. |
