Your savings, actually working.

Most cash sits in accounts earning near-zero interest, and no bank is in a hurry to mention it. Ed spots your idle cash, sizes the gap against a high-yield savings rate, and reads your savings against the life they're for.

Bank-grade, read-only connections. Ed never sees your login.

What Ed reads for you

Ed doesn't hold your money or sell you a savings account. Ed reads what your cash is doing and tells you straight.

Idle cash, spotted

Cash sitting at near-zero interest — in checking or a default savings account — shows up in your read automatically, sized in your real numbers.

The gap, explained

What the difference between a default account and a high-yield savings account actually means for your balance, in plain terms.

Savings, in context

A cash balance could be an emergency fund, a house down payment, or money waiting on a decision. Ed knows the difference.

The right place for your savings, by when you'll need it

Where your savings belong depends on one question: when will you need the money? Here is the standard answer — checking, high-yield savings, CDs, or invested — in plain terms.

This month · day-to-day spending
CheckingThe usual answer: instant access, earns almost nothing.
ed: $18,400 — more than this month needsAbout five months of spending, sitting at near-zero.
Any day · the emergency fund
High-yield savingsThe usual answer: a day away, earning while it sits.
ed: Nothing here yetYour emergency fund is sitting in checking too.
1–3 years · a named goal
CDs & similarThe usual answer: locked for a term, for a steadier rate.
ed: $12,000 — in the right placeSet aside and untouched since March.
5+ years · untouched money
Investing territoryThe usual answer: growth potential, market risk.
ed: $64,000 — in the right placeLong horizon, invested, not idle.

FAQ

  • Will Ed move my savings for me?

    No. Ed connects read-only and never touches your money. Ed's job is the read: spotting idle cash, sizing the gap, and laying out the options. Moving the money — and choosing where — stays entirely with you.
  • Does Ed recommend a specific bank or account?

    No. Ed explains account types and what the rate gap means for your balance, but never pushes a specific bank or product. Ed takes no commissions and no referral fees from anyone — so the read stays clean.
  • How does Ed know my cash is idle?

    Through your read-only connections, Ed sees balances and how your money actually moves. Cash that sits for months with no job assigned to it gets flagged — sized in your real numbers.
  • What does it cost?

    The Money Diagnosis and your opening read are free on Hello Ed. The ongoing watch sits on Ed Complete — $39.99 a month or $299.99 a year. No commissions, no ads, no kickbacks: Ed is paid by you, and only you.
  • How much should I keep in a high-yield savings account?

    The common answer: your emergency fund — three to six months of essential expenses — plus any cash you'll need in the next year or two. Money you won't touch for five-plus years is usually a question for investing, not savings. Ed reads your actual balances against your life and shows you where each dollar sits.
