6/17 Anyone have any opinions about E-trade bank? They have the highest
dividends of any bank.
\_ didnt learn enough after the dotcom thing?
\_ what are you talking about?
\_ guess not....
\_ rate is good, but service is not so good. I have requested
a check book from them since last year, and they have only
sent sheets of check. They had pretty good CD rates before too.
\_ For CDs, check out http://patelco.org. It's a bay area credit union.
Their CD rates are higher than etrade across the board. Their
checking account rate isn't as good as etrade, but their
savings rate is tiered, so you'd get higher than etrade if you
have more than 20k in savings. In May, they were doing a
special MM rate of 4.25% until end of the year. I got in on it,
but they don't allow any more new accounts or deposits at that
rate anymore. Many will qualify just by living/working in
Oak/SF. Thanks for bringing up etrade, though. I may switch
my checking account...
\_ Replying to my own post: Looks like etrade requires min of
5k for interest on checking. Looks like patelco is still
the right place for my checking. |
