The rate is now 2.25, not worth it.

Dollar Savings dropped again down to 2.50% APY now. Not surpising but disapointing.

I had trouble opening an account at DSD because of anomalous state laws in WI. I ended up having to call them twice and everything went smoothly. Haven’t had any problems since. Rate is falling lately as expected but it’s still relatively good.

“You people need serious help.”

Umm no – were just bankaholics…stacking our chips up at the highest rates on the net. haha

DSD is the best. Fast, easy to use, great service thus far and usually the highest rate!

Dollar Savings dropped to merely 2.65% now. Take your money and stuff it under a mattress.

FYI – Dollar Savings has taken bailout funds to the tune of $267 million through their parent company.

The bigger problem for them might be that they’ve been employing the wife of the House Republican Whip…. as a director of a branch that the employees say has no customers.

H&R Block Bank has a 12 month cd at 3.25% fixed and is FDIC insured. I just opened one online and funded it in about 10 minutes or less with no problem. May want to look there Joe.

Just found this out after a quick search on the web. Doral Bank Direct, which is of Doral Bank FSB, has a promotional rate of 3.5 APY guaranteed for the next three months. There are a few strings attached: $1000 is the minimum initial deposit, you have to maintain the $1K minimum to earn the yeild and $250 minimum balance must be maintained to avoid a monthly service fee. Also Bankrate has given Doral Bank its highest rating(5 stars). I have not opened an account with them yet but this might be worth a look. Anyone with any more information on this bank?

6.01% APY for checking account upto $25,000 Balance. Some requirments for higher APY but still very attractive.

At Dave, that is good information. I already had an account opened two weeks ago so I guess I’m locked in. Even if it is a teaser rate, I have until April to collect 3.75 APY(which is the highest I’ve seen) at which I can just move my money somewhere else.

DollarSavingsDirect back on top, highest rate listed, 3.50.
