I spoke to Fidelity about buying T-bills or bonds through them and my recollection is that there are two ways to do it, one involves fees and one doesn't. I figured for the same effort it would take to fully understand the difference, I could probably figure out the Treasury Direct site and I was correct about that.
The idea is to balance risk and get a better return than what my bank offer. UST Direct accomplish that with one stop shopping. You get a better rate and don't have to spend ungodly amounts of time chasing rates at unknown banks all over the country.

Some smaller banks have only upto 30k a month withdraw limit like Bread Savings and Valley Direct is even worse at 12k a month.
1yr CD rates at any brokerage firm are 5.25-5.35%
1yr T-Bills are around 5.3%
And a decent Money Market fund is 5.2%+
Correct. Initial principle + earned interest is placed back in your account as cash.

I have been with CIT for years. They have been absolutely great to work with. Their customer service was always top when I had to call them.
the benefit of this vs the others accounts who give 5.3% , there is no penalty to withdraw early
Sofi IS an FDIC insured bank. AND CDs generally come with term limits that punish you should you need to withdraw the money. There's really no benefit to CDs at the moment.

No benefit to CDs? WTF? I would say getting around 5% interest or more on your money without lifting a finger is an incredible benefit.
