Seems like a decent deal. That said, I think CD's are a good way to go at the moment because there's a good chance the Fed will cut interest rates again (I predict they will keep rates steady at the Oct 31 meeting, but cut rates in December). Such an action would likely lower this 5.1 APY by December

I'm from the Edmond/Oklahoma City area and Kirkpatrick Bank is legit (as far as I know) and has been around a long time. I haven't done business with them myself though.
I have had an account for about 5 months. It is okay, though not spectacular. They use CashEdge, and transfers take 3-4 days. The website is a bit basic, though functional. You can link to unlimited accounts, which is nice.

I like that you got red for this. Hindsight is 20/20 huh.
I just opened an account at Savings Square, and its going smoothly. I discovered that you need to call customer service if you want to transfer large amounts of money or do it quickly.
They have a "premium" next-day transfer service. There is NO charge for using this, and it gives you next-day transfers. But it has lower limits. There is an option on the transfer funds web page to specify permium or standard.
The default limits are $2K daily, $5K monthly for premium and for transfers in via Standard. The default for transfers out by standard is $15K/$25K. But you can ask to have the limits raised. The maximum is $20K/$50K for Premium and $100K/$300K for standard.
They do accept ACH in or out from another institution. Their routing transit number is 103001469.
According to a CSR, Savings Square does not charge for wire transfers, either in or out. This is quite unusual and is an excellent feature of this account.
Also, I asked about how soon premium transfers for deposits start earning interest. They said that if I initiate on Monday, it will show in the account and start earning interest on Tuesday.
Thanks for the info, blue. I was looking on their website and couldn't find any of this information about limits and what not listed so thank you for that.
So you can only transfer $2k daily and $5k monthly? So hypothetically if I had $20k to put into SS, I could put in $2k on day one, $2k on day two, and $1k on day three. And then have to wait for additional transfers until the next month, eventually getting all the $20k in over four months?
