ING Update

Saturday, July 8th, 2006

Even though I have discovered that other online banks are slightly more agressive with their APY for savings accounts, my APY for INGDirect just went up to 4.35% I have found it to be a great online bank to park my money as I build up that emergency fund. Open a savings ...

HSBC Direct Savings Account at 4.80%

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

HSBCDirect has increased its APY to 4.80% for savings accounts. Again, I'm in love with online savings accounts. For those of you who don't have a ton of money to invest, but want to make some money on savings (while still keeping the funds liquid), online savings accounts are such ...

I Am Merely the First Step

INGDirect Savings at 4.25%

CitiBank E-Savings @ 4.75%

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

I know Emigrant, HSBC, and ING get all my love and attention, but there a plethora of high interest options out there ("high interest" when compared to the wonderful .5% APY you might get at a traditional bricks-and-mortart bank). But CitiBank has a great deal with their e-savings account, offering ...

I Still Love Orange, okay?

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

I noticed today that Emigrant Direct has upped its APY to 4.65% for their American Dreams Savings Account. This matches HSBC Direct's APY. Unfortunately, my stupid Dutch bank that I continue to be fiercely loyal to, lags behind with their APY. Honestly, I know there's not much of a difference ...

INGDirect for Kids

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Last post of the evening, but I wanted to share this with you. My love affair with ING Direct continues to grow deeper and deeper with each passing day. It's come to a point where it's a borderline sickness. It's come to a point where I would get in a ...
