Look for a bank that offers the highest interest rates at your minimum balance with the lowest fees. Many Long Island banks require you to keep a certain balance to earn the quoted APY and to avoid fees. Banks requiring a higher minimum balance typically offer larger interest rates.

One of the best ways to grow your savings in Long Island, beyond getting the best interest rates from your bank, is to set-up an automatic savings plan. You can work with your bank to automatically take any amount from a checking account or a pay check that is direct deposited or from other accounts and add to your savings account each month. This way, you know your savings account is growing every month no matter what with the automatic amount plus the interest payments from your bank based on the bank rate.
