I got this note in response to my whining -- I just assumed it happened to everyone's accounts, maybe that's not the case? "Your money is earning even more for you! Effective June 30, your HSBCdirect.com Online Savings Account rate is 5.05% APY*. That's our highest rate ever - and more than 8x the national savings average" Actually, I whined to them about having a bunch of cash in HSBC, but Citi being so much higher.

I actually started my Emigrant Direct account, maybe last monthe. Started at 4.50%, then went to 4.65% and now it's up to 4.80%. I'm feeling the love already. It's funny because just the other day I was watching Bernanke talk about how America needs to increase their savings and stop borrowing...I think this is the right step towards the future. Yessss.
