Looks like the best online savings account out there today is SFGI Direct at 2.25%. Beats my Onbank account which dropped below 1%

I agree, thom. We use ING DIRECT pretty exclusively now. I have a BOA account just for making check deposits.

ING is the best, although their rates have gone down, they provide good services

GMAC bank has 2.23%. Etrade is now down to .95% as of today, 5/8/09. When I joined Etrade less than a year ago, it was at 5%.

dollarsavingsdirect.com. 2.05%, $1500 minimum. VERY easy to use. I beleive it is a part of Emigrant Bank, which as far as I know is different than Emigrant Direct.

I have used Emigrant Direct for years and their current rate is 1.65%. Their site is very easy to use and you can have multiple accounts with one log-in to help separate your different savings categories.

@RBJ – Good points. I will consider MMAs if I ever add another section to this list.

@Sarah – I use Schwab for my 401K. Thanks for the tip.

Charles Schwab has a 2% savings account right now- my friend told me about it and I recently filled out the pw to open one myself.
