ING and Emigrant both use what they call an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) to state what you will earn, so it's 3% after compounding, not 3.045%. Same thing with ING; 2.6% not 2.631%.
Emigrant's actual percentage rate is 2.96% with an APY of 3%. ING's is probably something like 2.565%.
It would be nice if the banking laws would say that you can only advertise percentage rates in one way; either APR or APY.
