Default Re: 4 week T-Bills paying 4.471 and no state taxes

Most banks list APY because it's higher than the interest rate. For example, ING is paying only 4.65% real interest rate.

You will only get the APY if you leave your money in there for the whole year. Otherwise, you will get anywhere between the interest rate and APY depending on how long you keep it in the account.
