HYSA

In plain English

High-Yield Savings Account. A savings account that actually pays you a decent interest rate.

The analogy

Same job as a regular savings account, but it shows up to work. Far more interest, and at an FDIC-insured bank the same protection up to $250,000.

Why it matters to you

Your emergency fund belongs here, earning real interest, not in a big-bank account paying you basically nothing.
