Features

  • Existing accounts continue to earn interest and operate normally
  • No monthly fees, no minimum balance requirements
  • Discover merged into Capital One on May 18, 2025; one company under Capital One, N.A.
  • Accounts began migrating onto the Capital One 360 Performance Savings platform in batches starting August 23, 2026, continuing into 2027
  • Existing customers still service accounts through Discover channels until the migration date
  • New savers are directed to Capital One 360 Performance Savings instead

Pros

  • +Existing holders keep a competitive 3.30% with zero fees
  • +Deposits remain fully FDIC insured through the merged bank
  • +Capital One 360 is a solid landing spot when migration happens

Cons

  • Closed to new applicants — you cannot open this account anymore
  • Platform migration to Capital One 360 creates account-number and autopay churn ahead
  • Capital One 360's headline rate is currently lower than legacy Discover's

Our Take

Discover's Online Savings was a top-tier HYSA for a decade, and existing customers should sit tight: 3.30% with no fees still beats most of the big names. This is now a legacy product being wound down: accounts started moving to the Capital One 360 Performance Savings platform in batches beginning August 23, 2026, with remaining accounts converting through 2027. New money should go straight to Capital One 360 Performance Savings or a true rate leader, and current holders should read the migration notice for their batch rather than panic-moving funds before then.

Best for: Existing Discover customers riding out the Capital One migration
