Where should I open a savings?

[vital]

Wanna start saving money since I just started my career. Currently only have a free checking account at Washington Mutual so I'd like a savings account that'll yield some interest. I'm thinking of directly depositing around $200 each paycheck to my savings. So any ideas or should I just open one @ WAMU?

One that gives the most interest. Emigrant Direct, ING, HSBC

HSBC, ING, Emigrant Direct. If you could get direct deposit into a citibank account (gets rid of fees), you could go with their 5% E-Savings too.

www.INGDirect.com is more popular than the other two because it's supposed to be easier to use the website. I haven't tried all 3 so I can't confrim that.

That's what I'll be doing. Switching from my BofA checking account to Citibanks and also getting their e-Savings.

I wouldn't open one at WaMu if you already have a checking account, it'll be too easy to take money out of it. You want to be able to have access to the account, but not too easily.

HSBCDirect or INGDirect gets my vote.
