HSBC Direct promotion ending

[prohornblower]

Well, I'm sure many of you have money in HSBC's e-savings account that is earning 6% until the end of this month (April).

Where are you going to put your money next? If HSBC drops to 5.05%, I think there are better options.

I was perusing fatwallet.com and saw some:

Countrywide 5.25/5.40 for 50K+
BOA NEA 5.31 (60 days)/5.14
Amtrust 5.36%
Amboy 5.35%
BankU 5.35%
Zion 5.30%
Union Fed. 5.31%
Igobanking 5.30%
PFF 5.30%

there are many more, but these all looked pretty good to me. Even with a one-week lag of moving your money, 5.3% beats 5.05% if you keep it there for like at least 4 months.

Bump. Is everyone who is already in HSBC planning on staying in? Or is there a better option out there?

Thanks

just do u know. there should be a value date on when the traansfers are made. You should get continuous intrest.

I am at Amboy now and am happy with the 5.35%APR. I can refer you if you want (PM me) to deposit there, if you leave your cash in for 3 months or longer you will get a $25 referal bonus. I realize it is not much but every bit helps.

Any fees, minimums...etc?

EDIT: Just read one of your older posts, I can link another e-savings account to it!? That would make it even better. I wouldn't have to lose a week of transfer time.

can someone make a recommendation for me if i want an account where I will keep ~50-100k in? I would need to be able to access the money within 5 days.
