Anyone else use HSBC for an online savings? 4% APY, no minimum balance, no fees, and if you use HSBC already everything is listed right on the same page as your checking/savings account. I can transfer money instantly into my checking account from here and have it available instantly, no 10 days of waiting to recieve my money.
BTW it just went up to 4% in the last couple days. only other comparable service is EmigrantDirect, at 4% as well, with no minimum, no fees, but your money isnt readily available.
i’ve had ING for quite a while. yes it’s only at 3.5% as opposed to the 4% some are offering, but i TRIED to set up an HSBC web savings account and you’d think it would be easy since i HAVE hsbc, but despite calls to their clueless customer service it would have made me jump through too many hoops. I prefer the convenience and extremely helpful customer service of ING
I’m VERY happy and I’m making $50 in interest a month plus referrals.
hrm, ive had my account for months with no problems, and no problems setting it up. i didnt experience any hoops or anything i would need to call cs about.
i mean its not like i really care what everyone uses for a savings account, i was just spreading the news that its up to 4%.
Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate as of 11/2/05. The rate may change after the account is opened. Minimum balance to obtain APY is $1.00. Fees may reduce earnings on the account.
Yea… they raised the Interest rate to push the online Banking.
