How things have changed.

As of right now, and I expect things to continue to change, there are only 4 offerings exceeding 4.50%.
It is quite unfortunate that all these rates are dropping. However, all I have to do is look 3 months back and think of the .1% I was "earning" in my savings at US Bank. Oh how glad I am I woke up to online saving accounts!
