Keeping $10,000 in a typical checking account yields almost no interest, often around 0.01% APY, while some online high-yield savings accounts offer up to 4.20% APY. This means you could earn $420 annually instead of just $1. Experts recommend keeping only enough in checking to cover bills and moving excess cash to high-yield savings to maximize earnings safely, as online banks offer FDIC insurance and no fees. Switching to a high-yield savings account is easy and can significantly increase your passive income from idle cash.
