I think most people leave because they can get better rates elsewhere.

I've been seeing these Citi Ultimate Savings Account ads for 3.5% all over the place. Citi must really need deposits.

I've noticed that Citi is offering 3.5% as well, it definitely looks tempting, especially with the sudden drop from ING.

Will definitely link to this post on my blog. Just wrote an article recently that talks about Online savings accounts.

WaMu is down to 2.5%.

This is amazing. ING still hasn't lowered their rate after the Fed dropped to 1%.

It definitely is hard to believe, I agree!

lucky them. If they lower their rates any further, I think i'm going to take my money from there and just put it into CD's and my MMF with my regular bank. I'm sticking with them for now to give them a chance, hoping that eventually their rates will rise again. however, I'm growing slowly unhappy with their readiness to be one of the first to drop rates....

note... In their defense, I also do like the ease of their system, and the ability to have multiple "accounts" that I can "designate" for various things. That's the other reason I haven't already switched back to my regular bank.

I had some money at Southern Community until this week. I am really irritated that they changed that rate, since there are savings accounts paying that much with no "conditions". Switched my money back to Provident-direct and sent SoCo a nastygram explaining why.
