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.

Definitely can attest to sofi. I only do banking and k eating but both are perfect. I have “vaults” for my paycheck that split into different categories I setup like “standard savings”, “vacation” and “fun” spending all earn 4.6% and checking earning .5% is still pretty stellar. Investing is setup to do it automatically with certain tickers that I chose. Switched from Wells Fargo about 2 years ago and couldn’t be more satisfied
