Yes, Emigrant and HSBC (which has a good global presence, I think) are great as well.

I was considering to go with ING since I’m moving back to Europe and don’t need personal service :)

I also heard good things about emigrantdirect.com https://www.emigrantdirect.com/EmigrantDirectWeb/index.jsp

Even though it has an even lower APY.

Thanks a lot

Alex

Alliance Bank in Sulphur Springs, Texas, has an account called Freedom Checking and there is no minimum blance required. To get the good rate you have to have 10 check card transactions (easy), get your statement online (easy), and have a direct deposit or an automatic draft payment. That is it and you can earn 5.25%. You can only put 25K in at that rate, everything over 25K earns a lower rate.That is a great rate considering that everything is tanking.

And ING seems to move in lockstep with them. And I just opened the Electric account...DOH! Unfortunately, the fed is expected to cut up to 0.75 on the 18th.

C'est la vie :( I suppose with all the fed rate cutting going on it was bound to happen. C’est la vie :(
