Ally Bank Savings Accounts have a range of account balances called balance tiers. We’re required to tell you the APY we pay is based on the tier in which your end-of-day balance falls. The APY may remain the same for all balance tiers or change based on your account’s daily balance.
That being said, we’ve simply made the current APY available across all our balance tiers.
Our balance tiers are:
Less than $5,000
Between $5,000 and $24,999.99
$25,000 or more
The APY of our Savings Account is more than 5x the national average of 0.39% APY, based on the national average of savings accounts rates published in the FDIC Monthly National Rates and Rate Caps accurate as of 12/15/2025.
