Banks aren't helping the savings accounts, I don't think I've had a lower interest rate on my savings account in my lifetime.
Look into High-Yield Savings Accounts (HYSAs) such as Marcus by Goldman Sachs or Ally. Majority of them will be online-only, but they tend to offer a higher rate than any brick-and-mortar bank.
I personally use Ally because they also offer a pretty cool CD that you can break at any time with no penalties - I got in when it was 4.35%, but iirc it was at around 4.25% last time I checked. I have a 6-month emergency fund in there, so it can accrue interest while I don’t need it.
