EmigrantDirect.com has been steadily falling, checked yesterday and our rate now is 2%, still far better than you can get at a local bank.

Bank interest at most places is sad, but there are still deals to be had. Especially with Rewards Checking if you are willing to jump through hoops and meet requirements.

My money market with Fidelity is barely above 1% but I keep it because it has free 24 hour transfers, atm refunds and the billpay system is excellent. I am willing to accept less interest for good service.
