Barclays Bank Delaware verdict
Barclays is a quietly excellent option that does not get the marketing attention of SoFi or Marcus. APY is consistently within 10-20bps of the leaders, and the institution is well-capitalized. Worth considering if you want a non-U.S.-headquartered bank exposure.

Wealthfront's Cash Account is technically a brokerage sweep product, not a bank account — but the practical experience is identical, and the FDIC pass-through coverage ceiling is the highest on this list. If you have over $250k in cash, Wealthfront is the cleanest way to keep it fully insured in one place.
