Our Take
Current quietly became a better deal in 2026 when it dropped its subscription and made the premium tier free. The 4% pod boost is a real rate but a small sandbox: $6,000 max, so treat it as a starter emergency fund, not a savings home. The $750 paycheck advance is the headline draw and is fine if you take the free three-day transfer, and a trap if you pay the instant fee every cycle. Good app, narrow use case.
Best for: Younger users who want advances, credit building, and a starter savings rate in one app
