Should I keep my emergency fund in checking?
Quick Answer
No. Checking accounts pay 0-0.01% interest while a high-yield savings account pays 4-5% — leaving emergency cash in checking costs hundreds per year on a $20K balance. Plus, mixing emergency money with daily spending makes accidental dipping likely.
