Explore Savings Products from Sterling Federal Bank

Raisin is a free digital platform that gives savers unparalleled access to a variety of deposit products through the convenience of a single login, helping you unlock the growth potential of your cash savings.

With the Raisin platform, you can fund deposit products offered by federally regulated banks and credit unions with a wide range of maturities and APYs (annual percentage yield), allowing you to build a savings strategy to suit your earning and liquidity needs.

Raisin is not a bank or credit union. It provides the digital “storefront” where banks and credit unions can promote their deposit products.

Raisin is operated by Raisin Solutions US LLC, a 100% subsidiary of Raisin SE, a trailblazer for open banking in the deposits and investments space. In the U.S., Raisin helps banks and credit unions improve their deposit funding by offering national reach for their retail deposit products, and provides savers with better access, more choice and higher convenience when evaluating savings products from federally regulated banks and credit unions.

• High-yield Savings Account (HYSA). As its name indicates, this account type functions like a traditional savings account—with typically no restrictions on depositing and withdrawing funds—but earns interest at rates that are higher than the national average for standard savings accounts.
• Money Market Deposit Account (MMDA). Also known as a money market account or MMA, this type of savings account offers a varying rate that allows you to earn interest on your funds with maximum flexibility for withdrawals. Like a HYSA, an MMDA offers features of a traditional savings account with typically higher returns.
• No Penalty CD. Through the flexibility of a No Penalty CD, you can lock in a competitive rate for a fixed term with the option to make a full withdrawal without having to pay a penalty for the early termination. Terms and conditions may vary by product. Please see specific product terms for more details.
• Fixed Term CD. With this longstanding savings vehicle, funds are held for a fixed term, and a competitive interest rate provides safe, predictable earnings. In contrast to No Penalty CDs, typically you are charged a fee if you do not complete the full term of the Fixed Term CD.

Interest (or dividend in the case of credit union savings products) is compounded daily and posted to your account monthly.

Creating a Raisin login is easy, requires no credit check, and typically takes less than five minutes. Here’s how:

1. View the offers on our savings marketplace and select a savings product offered by one of our partner banks and credit unions.
2. Follow prompts to enter your email and create a password.
3. Complete a simple online application and, after successful identity verification, link a bank account from which to fund your first deposit.

All deposits and withdrawals are completed within one to three (1-3) business days. After the initial deposit a withdrawals limitation for the first few business days may exist.

Business days are Monday through Friday excluding U.S. bank holidays.

For products offered by banks, all necessary registration is handled when you become a Raisin customer. One of the many benefits of our platform is that you can open a single account and earn competitive interest rates from banks in the Raisin network. When you select and fund a savings product offered by a credit union, there is an additional step of becoming a member. Raisin makes that process quick, easy and free. You still have one Raisin login and can view all your savings products in one convenient dashboard.

The current APY for your savings products can always be viewed on the Account Overview page when you are logged in to Raisin. This information also appears on monthly statements.

You cannot currently link your Raisin login to a third-party app, but we may offer this feature in the future. For now, you will not be able to link your selected savings product to a third-party app even if the bank or credit union offering that product does so outside of the Raisin platform.
