Wealthfront

"They have a nice app, a great 5% APY (5.5% with referral), no minimum, and no monthly fees."
·
"I've been really pleased with Wealthfront. It's currently at 5.0% APY but goes up to 5.5% with the referral link. I particularly like the "[categories](https://support.wealthfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059000652-Categories)" and "[automated savings](https://support.wealthfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045189471-Setting-up-your-automated-savings-plan)" features. Essentially you can subdivide your HYSA account into different categories and then split your deposits into those categories with a series of rules."
