No, all savings and checking accounts are variable rates. Occasionally a bank will guarantee a rate for 3 months or something (Everbank is currently offer 3.76% for the first three months).

They are all variable rates…..do you know of an on-line savings (or any savings account) that isn’t?

Please advise.

I doubt ING will increase theirs above 3.75% (it’s currently at 3.3%) let alone 3.5%. You can hook up the two and transfer money directly between the two.

Okay, 4% is pretty hard to ignore. Sounds like it might be time for me to open an account and slide some money over there. I wonder how long it will take for other online banks to respond.
