Alliant Credit Union verdict
Alliant is included on this list as the credit union benchmark, not because the rate is competitive (it is not — about 150bps below the leaders). Choose Alliant only if you specifically want the credit union ownership model and the ATM network access.

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.
