I just updated in Best current APRs thread, Superior Savings of New England has a new account which is paying 5.00% (minimum $100,000).

There seems to be information in the rate thread as well as the Superior Money Market thread so I thought I would start this thread to have one place for the Incredible Money Market account.

Check out their site.

I had fairly good experiences with their Superior Money Market and FReD accounts. The only bad part was they never raise their rates to keep up with market conditions, they just introduce another account. They have had FRed, Superior Savings Amazing Money Market, Superior Money Market and now their Incredible Money Market.

"The only bad part was they never raise their rates to keep up with market conditions, they just introduce another account. They have had FRed, superior Savings Amazing Money Market, superior Money Market and now their Incredible Money Market"

Except now you can just upgrade your existing account by calling them and requesting an upgrade


Wish they would increase rates on current accounts instead of offering more new accounts.
I am more likely to move money out of my 4.50% APY money market account than
add funds to it to get it over 100K. Adding higher rate tiers at 50K and 100K
to current account would have been better, IMHO.


Can someone clarify for me. Do they pay 5% on the entire balance if you're over 100K or just on the portion over 100K. If htat's the case, then you are saying they pay 3.44 on the first $99999?

in other words If I deposit $100,001

do I earn $100,001 *.05 in the first year or

($99,999.99 * .0344) + ($1.01 * .05)?

Thanks in advance!


Over 100K in a single account? I'd look twice. FDIC insurance
is only up to a certain amount unless it is a jointly held
account.

I research this further to be safe. Cheers!

Joint is not the only option, Just list two beneficiaries and you get 200k insured


Is this sucka still stuck at 5.00% APY ?


so this is a great deal, when you can get 5% at Amboy, HSBC, Emigrant, Citi, etc...with no balance requirement at all?


it used to be a great deal, they are probably slow to raise since they have to make back the money somehow
