HSBC Raises Online Interst Rates To 4.8%

[jeffrey]

It appears that HSBC has raised their interest rates to 4.8%. This currently isn't reflected in the advertisements on the main pages of the site, but has been updated on their <a href="http://www.banking.us.hsbc.com/HICServlet?cmd_ViewDepositRates=&accept-language=en-us">rate page</a> and has been confirmed by several people. The new rate is good through the end of April. <a href="http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13956">ING recently introduced</a>.

Either way, since HSBC is currently <a href="http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12830">offering a $25 sign up bonus</a> through February 15 with only a $1 deposit, it may be worthwhile to open an account for your emergency fund savings.

What's up yall? I'm new here. I'm happy that I now get 4.8% in my savings, but it's only thru 4-30-06 according to bankrate.com. Let's just all hope that after 4-30-06 that it will at least be around 4.5% permenantly

Ah Geez... That won't save you much at the end. I have a HSBC credit card and they charge me $15 for cash advances. I didn't even know until I get the bill!
