Online Savings Accounts

You know, I’m sick and tired of getting a lousy rate on my savings. I’ve decided to check out online savings accounts. It’s plain to me that most of the options there are a much better deal than I’ve been getting. I mean with the rates most big banks pay you, you’re not even keeping up with the huge rate of inflation in this country. Not even close. You’re actually losing money in real terms. Not exactly the sort of reward you’d like to get for saving. Check out WaMu Online Personal Checking for example. Their rates are way higher than anything you can get at the big corporate banks. And banking online is easier than dealing with lines at tellers anyway. Frankly, I couldn’t care less about meeting a banker in person. I’d much rather do my banking online with a click or two than wait in line at the branch. In fact, I think most people would be better off switching to an online bank.
