I know it should, but do you have recommendations? When I research I don't see any that are very high, recent posts seem to have the same thoughts, or I don't trust the "bank" as I've never heard of them

Capital One, Ally, and Marcus (Goldman Sachs) are all reputable banks currently offering good rates on their savings accounts! There are more too, those are just the ones I know off the top of my head

What is your definition of high?

Currently around 3-4%, but obviously what constitutes high changes based on what the Fed funds rate is at the time and in comparison to other banks. Some places are higher but make you jump through hoops to get it (you have to refer people, make a certain number of transactions per month, etc)

My ally account is over 3% I believe and I haven't had any issues with them.
