Most people stick with the same bank for years, even when that means earning just 0.01% on their savings. In fact, over 80% of Americans aren’t using high-yield savings accounts at all. The result? Missed interest, year after year.

That’s where Raisin comes in.

Raisin is a centralized savings platform that connects you directly to 75+ banks and credit unions so you can access guaranteed interest of over 4%. It’s especially useful for managing larger deposits: one dashboard, no paperwork, and full visibility across multiple banks.
