6 bank accounts that earn over 10% interest
In these countries, savings accounts beat the stock market
Savings account yields in other countries can trounce those in
the U.S., but savers abroad aren’t necessarily better off.
Interest rates are so low on American savings accounts that putting money in
the bank seems only slightly smarter than putting it under a mattress.
With the average savings account yielding 0.08% and the typical one-year
certificate of deposit paying 0.24%, according to Bankrate.com, the
old-fashioned approach holds little appeal. But in other countries, rates are as
much as 100 times higher than in the U.S. — returns that would thrill stock
market investors.
Unfortunately, such rates are made possible in part by skyrocketing
inflation, financial instability, central bank actions and currency
fluctuations. And many of these yields are off limits to Americans, since some
banks will only make accounts available to residents or people doing business in
those countries.
Savers have to look at the “whole picture,” says Greg McBride, senior
financial analyst for Bankrate.com. “Earning 10% when inflation is 9% is no
better than earning 2% when inflation is 1%.” Here is a look at the top saving
rates from around the world.
