ING Direct 5.30% Money Market Account (100K min)

ING direct, the pioneer of high interest online banking, has begun rolling out new
money market accounts that pays 5.3 interest on balances over 100K.

# < $50K = 3.00%
# 50K - 100K = 5.05%
# > 100K = 5.30%

still worthwhile if you have that kind of cash lying around
 
Just signed up for one of these accounts.....It's a very cool deal.

The electronic money sending is so cool. Get the account # and routing number for a friend, and you can send them money directly.....

 
if you don't have over 100k to put in, HSBC's internet saving's account (5.05%) is only a quarter point less with no real minimum to keep.
 
No minimums on the Orange account, and you get ATM access with a Check Debit card.

50-100k gets you 5.05%.....
 
i think hsbc is the best deal around right now, great rate, easy bank transfers, and atm card if you need it.

CWB's internet savings account is @ 5.25% APY with a $10k minimum. Tiers down below that, but so far been pretty good.

 
HAH! If you have 100K to invest and you are only making a 5.30% return, you don't deserve to have the 100K in the first place.
 
Actually considering real easte and stock markets right now is very bad hit or miss I keep my money in a bank. After the market tanks I will start to reinvest again.
 
i like how every FDIC insured savings account on the planet gives much better than social security's 1.5% (soon to drop below that as taxes are increased and benefits reduced)
 
Sounds like the tcif back's savings account. They're the bank that has locations in Jewel grocery stores around here. I saw a pamphlet for a 5.x% interest rate on a savings account, and thought it was very good for a bank that has physical locations - but then I saw the $100k minimum balance. It's like, there's no way I'm ever handing over that much money to a bank that locates itself inside grocery stores...

I've got an Emigrant Direct, they're at 5.05% right now.

Well it all depends on your tax situation. If you are making substantial income, such that you are in the highest tax bracket, then this is a terrible idea. You'd probably be taking a 50% cut on your gains counting state and federal taxes. Muni bonds, as one example, would be much smarter (you avoid the federal tax entirely on the gain).
 
with 100k i rather invest in stocks
and yeah HSBC 5.05 has no minimum, i get giddy every month when the interest gets me another video game or something 🙂

Seconded. 😀

You can do so much better with 100k.

On that kind of cash, I can make $1-$2k a day when the market swings my way.
