The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Does anybody here have any experience with raisin.com? They are some kind of savings account conglomerator/consolidator, you open an account with them and select which real bank you want your money to go into. You do NOT have a login at that(those) bank(s), just the one login at raisin. You transact (move money) at your raisin account.

I counted about 12 of banks they have which are currently paying 5.25% APY. Seems simpler than having to chase savings account yields by opening a new account at a new bank each time.

I am stuck with a half-dozen online bank acccounts that once were good but lately have fallen behind and are around only 4.25% or less. Kind of an annoyance to keep those accounts open with only a few dollars just in case they ever become competitive.

UFBdirect.com and VIObank.com are paying 5.25%, they are each the online-only account of a B&M bank.

Any thoughts?
