Ally Bank verdict
Ally is the best-in-class for users who want a full banking relationship rather than just a high yield. The Buckets and Boosters features for goal-based savings are genuinely useful and not gimmicks. APY is competitive but not the highest on this list — pay this small premium for the ecosystem.

Fidelity's Cash Management Account is the cleanest "all-in-one" replacement for both checking and savings if you are willing to use a brokerage. The ATM fee reimbursement is industry-leading. Yield is slightly below the pure-play HYSAs but the convenience and integration usually justify it.
