I have around $ 25,000 in the bank. I don't need the money now but do need it to be available so can't put it into a cd/other investments.... I'd like to at least put it wherever it can earn the most interest.... Any ideas?

CIT Bank has a 5.1% ( or around that) interest rate in their high yield savings account.

It’s easy to set the account up, deposit money and withdraw it.

CIT is 5% interest rate
marcus is 4.40% interest rate
ally bank is 4.2% interest rate.
synchrony bank is 4.75% interest rate
capital one is 4.25%

go with CIT! I have had an account there for about a year, its been smooth sailing BH. invest your 25k and watch it grow iYH...
