Episode notes
Apple's Frictionless Finance
- Apple leveraging its frictionless technology and massive user base can easily gather deposits and offer financial services.
- This frictionless model makes it easier for users to engage with financial services compared to traditional banking.
Unfair Deposit Rates
- The national average savings account interest rate is significantly lower than the federal funds rate, disadvantaging depositors.
- This disparity, known as low deposit beta, means savings rates barely rise with federal rate hikes but quickly fall with declines.
Financial Awareness
- Prioritize understanding and managing your finances actively.
- Continuously seek higher interest rates on savings and lower rates on debt to optimize your financial health.
