I cannot find a rating for DSD, but I find three for Emigrant out of NYC, where Emigrant is based. Two of the ratings are three stars, performing, and one rating is one star, lowest rating. As DSD is a division of Emigrant and not a legally separate & distinct bank chartered corporation, I'd presume the ratings of the Emigrant inure to DSD. Go with Doral if ratings are a concern, they are 5 stars, Superior, but they are down to 2.25% nowadays.
