HIGH YIELD??? Have you been in the shower the last 3 years?

Rates dropped at Incredible Bank. Checking is now 0.71%. Money Market is now 0.91%.

Looks like Barclays down to 0.9%. Great, happens right after I move my money to them.

I see a continued free fall, by the end of the summer nobody will be paying more than a pathetic .70%, and come Christmas .50%.
But on On July 1, interest rates for student loans are set to jump from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent!

I agree, it's sad that I have to go into a 3 yr CD paying a measly 1.35 percent at this point. I don't see savings rates going above that number for at least 2 years. May go above that in year 3, but who knows at this rate.

You might be better going into longer-term CDs with slightly higher rates IF the early withdraw penalty is small enough and the rules flexible enough.

If you have a Union Bank around you and 10K to spare, check on their guaranteed 1% till 6/2014 High Yield Savings with active checking.

anybody tried first financial bank (kasasa cash)? Googling it retunred many results (with the same name)!

I am wondering how reliable they are and if they allow opening online account for out-of-state residents? I am trying to get their 3% APY (hoping they will not reduce it in near future)!

Depends on how much your time is worth monitoring your account to make an extra $17 per month on the max $10K deposit allowed.
