Emigrant Direct now at 4.0% APY

Posted on September 20, 2005 // 4 Comments

Sweet. Emigrant Direct’s American Dream Savings Account is now paying 4% APY [Info Page, Bank Review], up from 3.50% and leapfrogging basically everyone in the liquid online savings arena, including Presidential Bank’s Premier Savings Account. And I just moved over ten thousand dollars out of Emigrant in the last two months. But I don’t think the interest rate wars are over yet. Things continue to look up for savers! An arbitraged $20,000 balance transfer at 0% APR would now earn $800 a year!

    Can you attach multiple outside accounts to one Emigrant Direct account? If you have two checking accounts for example, can you attach both of them to the same Emigrant account?
