WT Direct Increases Interest Rate to 3.26% APY
Post viewed 615 times, 1 so far today
WT Direct became the latest online bank to increase the interest rate of its online savings, following similar move early from E-Trade, HSBC Direct, and FNBO Direct.
The increase is 0.10%, from 3.16% to 3.26% APY with a minimum requirement of $1o,000. After 60 days if the minimum balance is below $10,000, then the interest rate is 0.50% APY. I looked at WT Direct a year ago and determined that this isn’t the bank I want, not just because of the high balance requirement, which isn’t a problem now, but more of its two-tier rates. $9,999 at 0.50% APY? No thanks!
