HSBC Direct Online Savings

HSBC Direct recently raised the rate on their online savings account to 3.50%, which is higher than both E*Trade (3.15%) and Wamu (3.30%). This new rate applies to both new and returning customers.

Here are some of the details:

  • No minimums or fees
  • Only a $1 deposit required
  • The rate is guaranteed through 8/15/2008
  • ATM cards are available
  • Unlimited links to external accounts
  • No hard credit pulls

HSBC is one of the world’s largest and most reputable banks, so losing your money is probably a non-issue. Of course, it’s FDIC insured for the standard $100,000.

    HSBC WAITS UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD YOUR ACCOUNT FOR A MONTH THEN CHANGES THE RATE DOWN TO 3%, NOT 3.5% AND CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO THE MARKET.
