BrioDirect verdict
BrioDirect currently leads the pack on APY in April 2026, and it has been at or near the top for over a year — this is not a teaser rate that disappears in 90 days. The catch is the $5,000 minimum opening deposit, which makes this a poor fit for someone just starting their emergency fund.
