competition driving up APY rates - ING up to 2.8%
 

haha emigrant must be taking away customers from ING
they upped their APY to 2.8% from 2.6%

it was only like a while ago that it was at 2.35% :thumbsup:

:woot: all the emails they got about emigrant direct....

but the fed has said that another quarter point hike is inevitable

i love the competition!!!!!

haha thats awesome

Still isn't 3.25% tho!

So, I shouldn't just be shredding all those mailings they keep sending me? I never gave them a second glance, but it seems that many people are happy with them. Perhaps this deserves a closer look.

While ING doesnt have 3.25%, the web interface and their customer service from my personal experience is much better than what I have experienced at emigrant.

:werd:
this is why i've stayed with ING and never transferred money to emigrant.

i totally agree but on a 25k deposit the one year interest earned will be different by about 112 dollars or 9.36 a month.

true, but who would really keep 25K only in savings? unless you're a true baller, and 25K is like a weeks expenditure. for me, that 25K would be disbursed to other investment accounts, only a nominal percentage of that would be in savings.

depends on what you're doing with the money

if you're saving for a house, then you wouldnt want to invest it, but rather put it in a savings acount and/or a cd

yeah i gotta work on getting me one of these accounts

good point, i've lost track of that perspective since i'm already paying mortgage.
