how do people keep their money in banks or savings accounts and earn?

So I have been saving up for a while, from college to now maybe $20k, and I keep it in a bank and get like no interest but I can withdraw my money anytime I want.

Due to using the money to pay for my credit card per month and getting my workplace to transfer my the money there I can’t deal with savings accounts that require me to deposit a huge amount and not expect it to go up or down. I would say I can save up to 24k slowly but also quickly go back to 19-20k. (Health and vet)

I heard about a different type of savings (not Roth IRA) but similar, you put like say 20k and get interest on it so you end up with like 20k+400. Downside is I can’t withdraw my money for a year??

I’m not sure which banks have this program and how much I can invest or should invest, I feel like I’m 5.

I don’t know about the US but in the UK it your getting less than 4.5% interest on your money at the moment you are losing out. Those are the rates for easy access savings (deposit/withdraw as much/often as you like).
