About YieldVault
Empowering Savers. Democratizing Returns.
YieldVault was born from a simple observation: while building YieldStreet, we helped accredited investors access premium returns through alternative investments. But we watched millions of everyday savers remain stuck earning 0.01% at traditional banks—simply because they didn't meet wealth thresholds or know where to look for better rates.
We built YieldVault to change that. Our platform combines the power of community-driven rate discovery with professional optimization tools, helping everyday savers access the 5%+ yields they deserve. No minimums. No complexity. Just better returns for your hard-earned savings.

Claire Wong
Claire believes everyone deserves to make their money work harder—not just the wealthy. Before joining YieldVault, she spent years in retail banking and saw firsthand how traditional banks prioritize profits over customer returns. That experience fueled her commitment to helping savers discover alternatives that actually reward them.
As a Sales Associate, Claire focuses on educating members about high-yield savings strategies and helping them understand why settling for near-zero interest rates is leaving money on the table. Her approach is straightforward: listen first, educate always, and empower savers to take control of their financial future. Outside of work, Claire is an avid runner and personal finance blogger.
