Same here. I looked at Presidential a few days ago while looking for a better home for my emergency fund. The website looks like it was designed in the mid 90’s and hasn’t been updated since. I was immediately turned off. A decent web designer doesn’t really cost all that much.

I always look at the FDIC insured logo and read some reviews from places like FatWallet or a number of other sites. But some of these interfaces are really sad…

I thought it was interesting that you mentioned the look of the interface– after hearing so much about their high interest rates, I checked out the Presidential site and found it really cheezy looking, as if it wasn’t even a real bank! It actually kind of scared me away. But maybe that is how they can afford to pay so much interest, they aren’t blowing money on high-end graphic designers!
