Taking the time to find the best products for your finances can make a big difference. You’ll have to do some research, but you could end up earning hundreds of dollars from welcome bonuses, higher interest rates and lower fees. Don’t just stick with a financial institution out of loyalty—choose one that works for you.

Emily is a freelance personal finance journalist and contributor to Newsweek. Her other publications include U.S. News & World Report, Forbes Advisor, USA Today and Buy Side from the Wall Street Journal.
