Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between APR and APY?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple interest rate, while APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes the effect of compounding. APY is always higher than or equal to APR for the same investment.
How does compounding frequency affect APY?
More frequent compounding (daily vs. annually) results in higher APY. However, the difference becomes smaller as frequency increases - daily vs. monthly compounding has minimal impact.
Why is APY important for comparing savings accounts?
APY provides a standardized way to compare accounts with different interest rates and compounding frequencies. It shows the actual annual return you'll earn on your money.
Can APY change over time?
Yes, APY can change if the underlying interest rate is variable. Fixed-rate accounts maintain the same APY, while variable-rate accounts may adjust based on market conditions.
Is higher APY always better?
Generally yes, but consider other factors like minimum balance requirements, fees, FDIC insurance, and accessibility. The highest APY account may have restrictions that don't suit your needs.
