ShouldBFishinAnyone familiar with Raisin (previously known as SaveBetter)?
Do any of you have any experience with Raisin (previously known as SaveBetter)?
I've not created an account, but they seem to have a pretty good list of banks with better than average savings (5.22%) / CD rates (5.50%).
Wondering what the catch is here.

AnushJust go direct to the bank. Google "best bank savings rates" and several lists come up. I use Marcus & PNC.

RogueJSKYeah, I'm not super familiar with Raisin, but I'm not sure I see a significant benefit for the end user. Just go directly to a bank with a high yield savings account and open an account. Mine's with Bask Bank.
And I sure don't I like the idea of a "free" service that acts (seemingly unnecessarily) as a middleman for your various banking accounts... The old adage goes: "If the service is free,
you [that is your data and personal information] are the product".
