Capital One 360 Performance Savings suits people who like the rates of an online bank but still want somewhere to walk in. The account paid 3.20% APY on all balances, effective November 6, 2026, with no fees to open or maintain it and no minimum balance. You can open one in about 5 minutes online, in the Capital One Mobile app or at a branch or Café, and you get 60 days after approval to fund it. Automatic savings transfers and mobile check deposit are built in. You cannot withdraw from savings at an ATM; Capital One says to transfer to a checking account first, such as its no-fee 360 Checking. Capital One also notes that Discover Bank deposit accounts opened on or after May 18, 2025 count together with Capital One accounts for FDIC coverage, which matters if you hold money at both. The rate is fair but not top tier.
