Forbright Growth Savings Review

Strong APY from a sustainability-focused bank. Independent Forbright Growth Savings review: 4.4/5 for high-yield savings.

By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked October 21, 2026.

Our verdict

Savers who want a high rate and care where their deposits go get 3.85% APY on all balances at Forbright, with no minimum to earn it and lending aimed at clean energy. The rate carries it. The trade-off is a smaller, lesser-known bank with little beyond savings and CDs, and enrollment for the 4.15% new-customer boost closed 8/31/2026.

Skip it if you want more than savings and CDs from one bank, or prefer a well-known name.
