online bank - %

[j0nes 0]

i'm doing some research, looking for a safe place to plant some money. i'm looking for an FDIC insured account with low or no fees and a good interest rate. I want to be able to pull out maoney if an emergency pops-up, so CDs are out.

HSBC has this http://www.us.hsbc.com/1/2/3/personal/savings/online-savings, but does anyone know of a better rate out there?


(i realize asking skydivers about invseting may be a mistake, but it was worht a shot)

HSBC 4% rate is the best thing going right now. Untill they just started this savings program the largets interest bareing account was the ING Orange 2% account. If you don't mind your money tied up long term you could look into CD's but thier yeilds have been shitty lately.

Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

I also checked ING and you are correct about the rate.

I'm trying to keep my money liquid, so i am avoiding CDs.


any other sites?

your brick and mortar banks are usually pretty reliable ... nowadays they come in cement form as well, which is okay ... but i've never done anything with online banks ...

i'm not worried about the online banks as long as they are FDIC insured.

That sucks
If you could set up bank account in UK you could get 10% (fixed for year) or 5% for instant access with no penalties for drawing

I still haven't worked out American banks. It's a huge con.

Now I used to work for this bank and I hate what they did to me. Firing my ass illegally! But they do have good offers...

Shame I shut my accounts in a temper. I would have let you leave your money in my account for few months. Id have given you good rate

I finally agree w/ you on something.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Obviously it didnt work in favor of the customers in this industry.

The prices and returns are outrageous in comparison with the UK.

me neither.

As far as rain, maybe you should ask people in Washington about that.

Britain just does grey, very very well.

Usually, so does Washington. This whole 25 days straight of rainfall is (surprisingly) NOT normal.

We've got plenty and would be glad to share, since we've got floods out the wazoo.

Oh, and just to keep j0nes happy, I have an ING Direct Orange account and could send a referral that gets an extra $25 put into your account (and I get a kickback too).

I'm sorry, did we hijack it in the wrong direction, dear kettle?

That would be nice! We've got a helluva drought goin' here. Most of Texas is like a tinder box. Grass fires all over. Forgive me if, I don't show concern for the bank interest rate at this time.
