Who is SaveBetter?
SaveBetter is a New York-based financial technology company (“Fintech” for short) that provides the digital “storefront” for an online savings marketplace.
With a single account, SaveBetter customers can invest in FDIC-insured savings products across numerous banks with a wide range of maturities and rates.
We are owned by Deposit Solutions, a Fintech based in Hamburg, Germany that has mediated over $21 billion in deposits over a long track record of working with banks and savers across Europe.
Your SaveBetter account gives you access to savings accounts and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) from a variety of banks with the security of FDIC insurance. These products include:
- High-yield Savings – an account with a varying rate that allows you to earn interest on your funds with maximum flexibility for withdrawals
- No-penalty CDs – lock in a more competitive rate for a fixed term with the option to make a full withdrawal at any time beginning 7 calendar days after funding
- Fixed Term CDs – a traditional savings vehicle with a fixed term of investment and rate that provides safe, predictable earnings
Customer funds are transmitted through a custodian bank, Central Bank of Kansas City (CBKC) and held in an account with the bank that is providing your selected savings product. Each bank is FDIC-insured. So, your funds are held at a federally-insured bank at all times.
Central Bank of Kansas City (CBKC), located in the heart of Kansas City, MO, has been family-owned, community bank since opening in 1951. In 2014, CBKC established Central Payments, a wholly-owned payments and technology subsidiary to lead its bank-fintech partnerships with companies like Deposit Solutions.
Our product partner banks are all FDIC-insured institutions that compete to provide you with highly attractive rates for your savings.
Yes! Your savings is FDIC insured up to the maximum amount permitted by law at each product bank, $250,000. Please be aware, however, that any deposits you have at a product bank, whether through the SaveBetter service or outside the service, that you may hold in the same capacity (such as in an individual capacity or joint capacity) count toward the FDIC deposit insurance maximum amount, and any such amounts that you hold in the same capacity at a product bank that exceed the maximum insurance coverage by the FDIC will not be insured.
SaveBetter does not charge our customers any fees.
In return for helping them connect with savers across the United States, we are paid fees by our product partner banks that offer savings products. This allows us to provide these services free of any charge from SaveBetter to our valued customers!
