Information on Wells Fargo Savings Account Interest Rates:

While a savings account is a common product that is issued by banks, the Interest rate and annual percentage yield on this product can vary from bank to bank. This can also vary amongst other banking products such as money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

Products for Savings and Deposits from the banks point of view are considered a liability and therefore the rate at which banks lend will typically be always higher than the rates they provide for deposits and savings. 

In particular the savings rate set by Wells Fargo is affected by a number of factors including but not limited to the Federal Reserve monetary policy and the "fed funds rate", cost of wholesale funding, net interest margin, profitability, competition for deposits and regulation requirements.  Some of these factors can vary from bank to bank which could perhaps affect the rate it sets.

A savings account is a highly liquid product, is covered by FDIC insurance and is considered low risk. Comparing against CDs which may also be considered low, covered by FDIC but are considered more illiquid due to APY being fixed and issued for a set maturity date e.g. 6 months. Due to this highly liquid nature, interest rates set by banks tend to be lower than CDs. 

One of the risks of savings products is if the interest rate set by the bank is very low and the CPI inflation is much higher, over time purchasing power on the rate of return will be negative.

For this product indicated, the interest rate is applicable to the 'Way2Save' Product and requires a $25 minimum opening deposit with other balance tiers having different rates. Determined for a CA 90210 location.
