while ive found this older post, im not quite seeing it being factual. the fed dropped the rates recently, ing was among the first to drop their return, to 4.3 apy, etrade just dropped from 5.05 to 4.7 a full month after ing dropped rates.

regarding emigrant direct, i was with them only a short time, i didnt like their website, but they pay nicely still.

re: everbank on your list of the best, their 6% is only for 3 months, then it drops. sounds like comcast, jack my price up

I plan on dumping my Emigrant account this week too. There is too much competition for banking. I would think Emigrant would know that, in that their only draw was that they were a sliver ahead of the other banks in interest rate in exchange for less service (no Treasury ladder, no ATM).

So that’s the reason! It looks like they only notified account holders when the rate went up as I remember I did get an email of the rate change when the 5.15% was adopted.

Hey Sun,
I received an email from the folks handling ED’s affiliate program, they were giving us all a heads up about the rate change.

Cheers,
