Exclusive offers from Ponce Bank

SaveBetter is a digital platform that gives savers unparalleled access to a variety of deposit products through the convenience of a single account, helping you unlock the growth potential of your cash savings.

SaveBetter customers use the platform to fund federally insured deposit products offered by numerous U.S. banks and credit unions with a wide range of maturities and APYs (annual percentage yield), allowing you to build a savings strategy to suit your earning and liquidity needs.

SaveBetter is not a bank. It provides the digital “storefront” where banks and credit unions can promote their deposit products.

SaveBetter is operated by SaveBetter LLC, a 100% subsidiary of Raisin GmbH, a trailblazer for open banking in the deposits and investments space. In the U.S., Raisin helps banks and credit unions improve their deposit funding by offering national reach for their retail deposit products, and provides savers with better access, more choice and higher convenience when evaluating savings products from FDIC insured banks and NCUA insured credit unions.

Your SaveBetter account gives you access to savings accounts and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) offered by a variety of banks and credit unions with the security of FDIC and NCUA insurance, respectively. These products include:

• High-yield Savings Account (HYSA). As its name indicates, this account type functions like a traditional savings account—with typically no restrictions on depositing and withdrawing funds—but earns interest at rates that are higher than the national average for standard savings accounts.

• Money Market Deposit Account (MMDA). Also known as a money market account or MMA, this type of savings account offers a varying rate that allows you to earn interest on your funds with maximum flexibility for withdrawals. Like a HYSA, an MMDA offers features of a traditional savings account with typically higher returns.

• No Penalty CD. Through the flexibility of a No Penalty CD, you can lock in a competitive rate for a fixed term with the option to make a full withdrawal at any time beginning seven (7) calendar days after funding without having to pay a penalty for the early termination.

• Fixed Term CD. With this longstanding savings vehicle, funds are held for a fixed term, and a competitive interest rate provides safe, predictable earnings. In contrast to No Penalty CDs, typically you are charged a fee if you do not complete the full term of the Fixed Term CD.

Interest (or dividend in the case of credit union savings products) is compounded daily and posted to your account monthly.

The short answer is yes!

For SaveBetter customers who hold savings products offered by one of our partner banks, funds are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount in accordance with and as permitted by law at each bank holding their funds. The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per account ownership category. Ownership categories as defined by the FDIC include single bank accounts (owned by one person/depositor) and joint bank accounts (owned by two or more persons/depositors). Revocable trust accounts and some types of retirement accounts (e.g., IRAs) are among the other ownership categories covered by FDIC insurance. All deposits you have at a bank — whether facilitated through SaveBetter or otherwise — count toward the deposit insurance limit. If funds held at a bank in a certain ownership category exceed the coverage limit, then the amount in excess of the limit will not be insured.

If you hold a savings product offered by one of our partner credit unions — making you a member of the institution — funds are insured by the NCUA through its Share Insurance Fund. According to the NCUA, each credit union member has at least $250,000 in total coverage. The Share Insurance Fund insures individual accounts up to $250,000. Additionally, a member’s interest in all joint accounts combined is insured up to $250,000.

All deposits and withdrawals are completed within one to three (1-3) business days. After the initial deposit a withdrawals limitation for the first few business days may exist.

For products offered by banks, all necessary registration is handled when you become a SaveBetter customer. One of the many benefits of our platform is that you can open a single account and earn competitive interest rates from banks in the SaveBetter network. When you select and fund a savings product offered by a credit union, there is an additional step of becoming a member. SaveBetter makes that process quick, easy and free. You still have one SaveBetter login and can view all your savings products in one convenient dashboard.

The current APY for your savings products can always be viewed on the Account Overview page when you are logged in to SaveBetter. This information also appears on monthly statements.

You cannot currently link your SaveBetter account to a third-party app, but we may offer this feature in the future. For now, you will not be able to link your selected savings product to a third-party app even if the bank or credit union offering that product does so outside of the SaveBetter platform.
