FYI - FNBODirect rate drop

[98tegRS]

FNBODirect promo rate of 6% is ending on 9/28 and the new rate will be 5.05%
If the rates continue to fall CDs are looking really nice right now.

HSBCDirect just dropped theirs from 5.05% to 4.50%

any 1 have the scoop on special rates that are higher. I have some savings with FNBO and need it to continue making fat interest babies.

Thanks ahead of time.

Tell me about it, I'm looking for some good interest rates too. I just became aware of HSBC rate drop. I'm also sorry to see that FNBO rate drop.

I had HSBC and closed it a month ago. I had previously moved the money to FNBO. There's not alot out there that you can say is going to keep it rates steady. I figure month by month that you will see different banks dropping their rates. I'm thinking that Emigrant Direct will be next. It's never a bad idea to leave a few dollars in these banks in case they have new specials. CD's are looking pretty good right now. I would say anything over 5% would be a pretty good rate.
