Right now, you can lock in a 4.25% APY* introductory rate with NexBank — plus up to $1,600¹ in bonuses when you open your first account with promo code GIFT. A $50,000 deposit could earn roughly $2,000+ in interest over a year, plus quarterly bonuses through all of 2026.

End the year with a better rate — and start the next one earning more.
