Would you open a CD or MM in a bank that has a 3.5/5 rating, if all other banks in the area have a 5/5 on Bauer Financial.
I try to keep savings in a number of accounts.

No. But I also don’t hold by keeping money in multiple banks.

Why not? This way if one bank goes bust, you dont have everything in that bank.

If your money is in an FDIC insured bank, it is insured up to 250,000 if the bank goes bust.

No concerned - and balances are insured.

If it's FDIC insured, what would be the problem? And if it's not FDIC insured, I wouldn't put a penny there no matter how many stars it has.

To me, looking at the bank ratings makes sense because I hear even with FDIC, they can take years to pay back, and I forgot what other drawbacks there are.
