My business is looking to put our money into a high yield business savings account. Does anyone know which banks offer business savings accounts with the highest interest rates?

Thanks!

ING is the only bank which pays more for business. There may be others but I don't know.

Here's some of the best business money rates as of March 7, 2008:

WAMU = 4.34% APY…..WhooHoo!
• Wachovia = 3.66%
• Union Bank of California = 3.14% APY
• Chase = 2.85% APY
• CalNational = 2.65% APY
• U.S. Bank = 2.85% APY
• Wells Fargo = 2.8% APY
• Bank of America = 2.5% APY
• Citibank = 2.5% APY
• HSBC = 2.1% APY

*Please note that banks have APYs that vary according to the deposited balance; the higher the balance, the higher the rate. For this comparison, bankpig selected the highest rates which usually require a balance upward $100,000. Rates may also vary state-by-state. The best business money market rates are generally reserved for “new money”, not balances already deposited. If you see a rate that your institution isn’t offering or you are not receiving, get the rate in writing and show it to your banker to see if he/she will match it. Otherwise, you may want to consider a changing your business bank.

Hope that helps,
Bryan

Why post a list of the 'best' biz account rates when you dont include most of biz accounts with the best rates?

Ing Direct - 3.75%
Etrade - 3.45%
Countrywide - 3.5% ($10k minimum)
UFB Direct - 4.75% ($15k minimum)

Those are good rates, thanks for the notice, but I noticed those banks don't have branches and Countrywide is...well, going through changes.

Squeezer99 can you list a link?

Thanks!

Bank of America is offering a 3.4% APY on their Business Interest Maximizer account for new money with a minimum deposit of $10,000. Stop into your local branch to find out more or sometimes on the BofA website they advertise this offer. This also is not a limited time offer either but rather a rate being offered to their business advantage customers.

BofA advertises a top rate of 2.5% APY:

Also, I accidently deleted a message sent to me from a member on this post. Thanks for your message and FYI WAMU offers business rewards checking and I think Citibank does too.
