Before believing a rate
- Confirm the source and legal entity.
- Check whether the rate is APY or APR.
- Look for balance tiers and minimums.
- Read fee, withdrawal, and lock-up rules.
- Verify whether protection applies.
Copy a safe reminder
“I should verify eligibility, fees, access, protection, and whether the rate can change before making any decision.”
