best ONLINE savings account? (Interest wise)?
Is there a website where i can view the best online savings account interest rates to date? I want to open one to start saving some money, but i want a really good rate. Thanks!
The rate for online direct savings accounts ranges between 4 and 5%. Unless you’re investing a ton of money choosing which bank to use should boil down to service and convenience rather than a few tenths of a percentage point on your annual yield or APR.
The major players are ING Direct, Emigrant, HSBC, and WAMU. ING and Emigrant have the advantage in that most of their business is online so they don’t have the overhead of the “bricks and mortar” banks (actual banks and employees therein).
I researched this extensively and chose ING Direct. They have the best overall reviews and customer satisfaction. They are currently paying 4.3% APR. Also, their “Electric Orange” checking account has won top honors in reviews such as Kiplinger’s finance.
These online direct savings accounts are a great place to park your money compared to traditional savings accounts that yield less than 1%.
Good luck saving!
