advice for moving savings from wells fargo from someone who's only ever used wells fargo?
hi y'all,
so my parents opened a wells fargo account for me when i was a teen, and I've been with them ever sent. i'm now in my 20s, have about 16k in savings, and want to put my money into a high yield savings account. i don't own property (not even a car) and don't have any debt - basically, money just comes in from my job and flows out with my purchases.
from what i understand, WF is kinda terrible, and i think my money is just losing value sitting there. but i've been too intimidated by the process of moving banks -- i'm thinking of all the accounts i have currently tied to my credit card, how my jobs have my bank account attached to them, etc.
can anyone offer advice for someone looking to transfer banks? and where should i be looking to put my savings for the highest returns? i just want an account, i'm not interested in investing it anywhere quite yet.
thank you!!
