Just plug it into excel...
Deposit Interest
1000.00 52.60
1052.60 55.37
1107.97 58.28
1166.25 61.34
1227.59 64.57
1292.16 67.97
1360.13 71.54
1431.67 75.31
1506.98 79.27
1586.25 83.44

This is all assuming 5.26% APY over 10 years, which is highly unlikely that the rate will be this steady. Put 1k in a CD if you want guarenteed return.

use the APR interest rate and not the APY rate.

Am very impressed with this account. I applied on 9/19 and funds were pulled on 9/21 but they started paying me interest on 9/19. First time I have received overlapping interest funding an account this way. Received my opening letter on 9/25 with all the info I needed to log on and start linking some more accounts. Also no hard pull done

AmTrustDirect has increased to 5.30%

their reps will tell that you the routing number is 267091221 but it is actually 241070433. that is what is listed as the routing number for your account if you look in 'Manage External Accounts' through the 'external transfer' button. i made them aware of this.

the routing number 083914265 for UFB Direct is not recognized by the AmTrust Direct system. i have called and emailed AmTrust about it but they won't do anything about it. i notified UFB about it and all they will do is send me some letter confirming their routing number, which i'll then send to AmTrust. i suggest others in my similar situation to b***h about this to AmTrust.

their reps told me that you can use the bill pay system online but nothing will actually go through even though it seems so since it's all fully functional. can anyone who's tried it confirm whether this is true or not?
I have used billpay, and it has gone through.

I wasn't able to link UFB either, and theirs isn't the first system to not take it (Yodlee BillPay doesn't either).

I've been using 122187212 as a routing number, which is what CashEdge finds when you search by Amtrust, and I haven't had issues yet. The 267 number is what the rep told me as well.

update:

241070433 is NOT the correct routing number either. i just found out it doesn't work. this is ridiculous.
use the routing number provided by Xeon852: 122187212

the bill pay does work.

update:

bill pay has been removed.

do these guys work with yodlee?

Yes, under the standard Amtrust bank option.

Last I checked they were not in BOA My Portfolio, but they are in MoneyCenter.

Thanks!

I just went through the whole application process only to get this:

Error Desc: This portion of our site is unavailable at this time. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Error DateTime: 10/5/2006 2:46:52 AM

I called customer service (which is 24/7 -- nice, I must admit) and was told that I took too long to complete the application. That kind of shite really annoys me.

How many online bill payments can you make each month? I keep getting messages when i log in that if i do 3 this week im entered into a drawing for $1000 but I msged the help desk and they said i cannot make bill payments from my money market account (I have already made 3) and then I called up the customer service line and they said I can make 3 per month. So they want you to make all three in one week? Anyone know anything about this?
