Nope especially when corporate B&M banks are < 1.00%

Even my CU is under 1% unless you have $10,000.00 then it's 1.00%

LOL

My Vanguard MMA is at 4.01% yield now.

I just earned $4.30 from just half of December.

Don't forget Capital One sitting at 4%.

I despise Capital One, I'd rather sign up with HSBC.

just signed up with ING Direct last week, part of my New Year's resolution to save more money (other than spare change 😛).

Fast and easy, although I timed it poorly and I have to to wait till the end of this holiday weekend for the security check desposits to post to my checking account, so I can activate the account fully.

OT (sorta), but when did ING start requiring a $250 "initial" deposit to receive the sign on bonus? (That was stated on their website after I sent a referral today)

A few months ago and it sucks 🙁

If you're looking at a higher yield savings account, having less than $250 in there is worthless.

Sadly, my ING account is still gaining more interest than my mutual funds. 🙁

I think I've done OK with my mutual funds, 10.7% gain between April 15th when I opened up the account and Dec. 30. Diversity FTW 🙂

While true, I still want my referral bonus ($10) for those who do sign up regardless of "their" initial depost! 😀

It's just not worth it for ING to just give out money like that if people aren't depositing 'enough'. 🙂

We just gave away our last ING referral, might look into an HSBC or Presidential account now.

 

[Safeway]

What do you mean? I have plenty of remaining referrals.

heh if they had done this like a couple months ago, i might not have moved out most of the five figure amount or whatever i did.

Emigrant hasn't raised their rates for a long time now.

 

[Safeway]

I'm thinking about moving part of my money into ING managed mutual funds, but while reading through the prospectus, it seems like the 3.8% from the Orange savings account is better than the funds!

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Anyone with ING Mutual Fund experience?
