In mid-May, I wrote, “For a limited time, OMB is offering a 60-day Promo 4.26% APY on its Online High Yield Savings Account;” that limited time ended this week. According to an email I received from OMB, the online high interest savings account has been removed from the OMB website and “it is no longer available.”

This isn’t necessarily the end for the OHYSA: my contact at OMB said the removal is anticipated to be temporary. While that was encouraging news, I remember being told something similar about the removal of the Newtek Bank Personal High Yield Savings in February. We’re still waiting for that savings account to return.
