How does Ing Direct post interest?

[Triforceofcourage]

Is it daily, weekly, monthly? Does it show you how much interest you earn every day?

 

[mugs]

Monthly. It gives you a running total throughout the month.

 

[Radical Ans]

3.8% APY is the best!

 

[thirdlegstump]

Hm..so for example if I put in $10,000, next proceeding month I'll have $10,380? ($10,000 x 1.038 = $10,380)

The 2nd month it'll be $10,380 x 1.0380 = $10,774.44? (interest compounded??)

Any catches? (other than reporting 1099?)

 

[drnickriviera]

3.8 is yearly not monthly. For 10k, you'll get around $30 a month or $380 for the year.

No, 3.80 is the Annual percentage yield. You have to divide 3.8% by 12 to get the monthly rate. Below is what you would have after a year.

10031.66667
10063.43361
10095.30115
10127.2696
10159.33929
10191.51053
10223.78365
10256.15896
10288.6368
10321.21748
10353.90134
10386.68869

and no that does not suck. suckage is leaving it in a bank acct with 0.49% APY.

No. This way your APY becomes 3.86. The interest rate is less than 3.8. Say x and then with compunded interest (monthly x/12) 10000 becomes 10380 at the end of the year.

Yea you're right, I wasn't paying attention. the APR is slightly lower than 3.8%.

Nope. It's good, but 4.25% is the best right now for a savings account. Both HSBC and Emigrant Direct offer that rate now.

You don't have to man. Opening an ING account is free and easy (compared to the HSBC account).

There are plenty of people around here (me included) who'll offer you a referral email, and ING will toss in an extra $20 or $25 as long as you start up an account with $200 or something like that.

Try it. It's fun!

He said 3.8% a month, not a year. That's A LOT more than ING is offerring. So yeah, I'd give his left nut for 3.8% interest a month too.

EDIT: d'oh. too slow.

Yeah, that's awesome. My next savings deposit isn't until Feb 15, so I'll have to wait, but it will be nice getting an extra 1% during this time. 1% isn't much, but it's better than 0%.
