Discover Savings Account

I got an email the other day from a former brokerage that I had a savings account with. In the email I was informed that the etrade savings account that I had, had been transferred to Discover Bank. When I navigated over to the Discover Bank site I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Discover Bank savings account offered a 1.34% interest rate that yielded 1.35% with no minimum balance. That is better than the rate being paid to me by Dollar Savings Direct. You should check out Discover Bank savings

Dollar Savings Direct Online Saving Account

There are many banks that are offering online savings accounts with a rate that is usually better than you will get from a local bank. One of the best rates being offered is by Dollar Savings Direct. The current rate that Dollar Savings Direct is offering on their online savings account is 1.29% with a corresponding APR of 1.30% for accounts with a minimum account balance of $1000. Dollar Savings Direct also offers a great rate on their online certificates of deposit. When I compared the rates that Dollar Savings Direct offered with those of my local bank, I found that my local bank could not beat Dollar Savings Direct's rates. This bank is well worth the time of checking out, here is the link DollarSavingsDirect.com

BB&T Pays Incentive

I recently posted about BB&T's offer of $100 dollars to anyone who opens up a checking account and uses the online bill feature on the BB&T online banking site. I opened up an account with BB&T and guess what, my account just got credited with $100. The point I am making is that there are banks who will pay you to use their services, BB&T is one of them. This bonus will be available until April 30, 2010. Here is a link for more info, BB&T $100 bonus.

ING Direct bank has a great offer for someone who will open up an online savings account.
