Savings · Popular Direct on record
Popular Direct
High Rise Savings pays a recorded 4.40% APY — at or above the Effective Federal Funds Rate (4.33%). Its recorded APY has moved -0.80% since Aug 2025. This file keeps that reading next to PriceWorld's modeled Rate Loyalty Score — how fairly the bank passes Fed moves through.
Each figure is a recorded reading, dated Feb 2026; the Rate Loyalty Score is PriceWorld's own modeled reading of Fed pass-through, not an external rating. Not a live feed and not a quote; APYs change, so confirm the current rate with the bank before you open an account.
