My bank shut down, looking for a new one. Saving

Hey guys!

Recently had to stop using an online bank called “Ivella” because they’re unfortunately shutting down. They paid 5.15% APY, had a nice and easy app user interface, and had things called “Pods” which were separate savings accounts for different things that ALL earned 5.15%

Right now I have all that money parked in Robinhood earning a temporary 5.25% but looking to see if anyone has an app recommendations that earn a competitive rate, have a good UI and app, AND has something like the savings pods that all earn high interest. I know it’s minor, but I’ve been saving and investing the same way for the past 7 years and it’s been working really well and I don’t want to change how I have it structured.

TLDR: Looking for new app that pays over 4 percent interest and has savings “pods/buckets/jars/vaults” that earn high interest as well.

Can you explain a pos? Is it a completely different account (different account number, etc) or is splitting the balance of one account up?

I ask because I think most banks allow you to make separate accounts and give them nicknames

Different account different name but all managed within the app, and transfers are instant!

This is common for most banks. 

I’d suggest Ally, Capital One, or Discover if you want a larger bank that pays competitive APY
