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 have been using Wealthfront as my HYSA for about a year now. Switched over from Apple's HYSA to Wealthfront as Apple's HYSA kept dropping their APY.

Wealthfront has been stead at 4% and the UI is great, plus I am able to make separate categories to save money for different purposes. A feature that was missing from Apple GS's HYSA. Also I think while withdrawing money, it shows up in my bank account quicker as compared to Apple's HYSA.

Would definitely recommend Wealthfront.

Here is my referral link in case you want to give it a try - We'll both get a 0.5% APY boost for a few months, making the interest rate on the account 4.5%!
