So I did a little math and broke it down. This only reflects 1 year of earnings. With the following banks and their current APYs you would make more in interest with ING unless you can open and mantain the balance I have listed here… Etrade (4.4%) $2,500.00 iGO Banking (4.2%) $3,125.00 Emigrant (4.05%) $3,846.15 HSBC Direct (3.8%) $6,250.00 Citibank (3.5%) $25,000.00 Capital One (3.5) $25,000.00 If you have the ability to open your account with more than the balance listed above, and maintain that balance for the entire year, then it is in your best financial interest to open one of the above listed banks. That is why I opened an ING Direct Savings for my personal savings, and still have my payroll in a higher yielding account (it is in the thousands per quarter). ING Direct is a reputable bank, I have read so many good comments on their stability and customer service. Open up an ING savings account (currently at 3.4%APY) with $250 through a link I can send you if you email me. ING will immediately deposit $25 in to your account just for opening it, and then offers you the opportunity to earn $10 for every account that is opened that you refer. If you are interested in opening an account with ING and receiving the $25 bonus, and the ability to earn thank you bonuses, just drop me an email and I would be happy to send you a referral email with a link that allows you to open your account. . alicia_schutte@yahoo.com Bless you all, Alicia I have received emails questioning whether it is better to open an ING account and get the upfront $25 and only 3.4%APY or open one with higher APY.
