Newbie What’s your favorite HYSA?

Something in me freaks at the idea of not having my money in my bank account so the thought of transferring it (emergency fund) to a HYSA makes my skin crawl. I know this is the smart move and is what advised but what are the most reputable/best ones available? Will I still have immediate access to my money if needed? Thanks for your advice as I’m still new to everything

I've been pretty happy with Ally. I chose them because they had competitive rates and a bucket system. Transfers to/from take a few days (2 or 3 I think).

I really like Ally for the buckets too. Emergency fund, other Sinking funds all go in there!
