Even though there are balance requirements, the rate makes this very interesting. Does anyone here have an account with them? If so, what has been your experience?

There is a local branch in Tampa, FL. Therefore, I am going to look into it. They also advertised this special in the Tampa Tribune on 5-25-06.
