Little savings, where should I put it for best interest rate. I am a senior citizen and need to have easy access.

$10000 savings. Where best to save as a senior?

This begs the question of what you consider "easy access".

There are a number of internet (online) banks that are currently offering in the neighborhood of 2% interest on savings accounts but there are typically restrictions on the number of withdrawals that can be made. 

See https://www.bankrate.com/banking/savings/rates/

If you drive over to your local (brick and mortar) bank, you will most likely get a very nominal rate of interest unless you commit your funds to a longer term, such as a CD or money market account.
