OneUnited is one of the online banks that I am looking at very closely. Can ANYBODY tell me anything about them?
There are a bunch of banks currently offering 5.25% or higher interest rates. If I were you, I'd consider GMAC, AmTrust, Amboy or E-Loan, just because they are all well-established banks and have a lot of positive reviews (E-Loan just started offering saving accounts online, but they've been in online business for years). OneUnited is a dark horse, maybe it's good, but why take a risk when you can get the same or better interest rate from other reputable banks.
