The online division of East Boston Savings Bank, is paying a whopping 2.81% APY on its money market account.
That’s more than twice the national average of 1.36% for MMAs, and a whopping six-tenths of a point more than the best money market accounts were paying in our last survey.
The catch?
That rate is only available with a balance of $50,000 or more of new money — which means you can’t transfer money from other EBSB accounts.
Don’t have that much sitting around? You’ll still earn a competitive 2.0% APY on balances over $5,000.
This deal is available nationwide and you can open an account online.
In addition, the interest rates are guaranteed until Sept. 30, 2009. No chance of signing up today and having your rate dropped tomorrow.
CNN’s Lou Dobbs blows a gasket and starts talking about revolution when he hears that the average federal employee now earns twice as much as the average worker in private industry.
