@goldsheet Sorry, missed it. I’ll delete my post if I can. Rate drops are painful…

Looks like Merchant’s Bank IN rate on Money Market Savings is now .75%, down from 1.0%

Brio Direct just reduced the rate on their savings account to 2.2%

Re: Which high-interest savings account is the best?

Interesting checking / savings promo at “Simple” (appears to be an arm of BBVA). Up to $500 bonus for leaving money in until YE, plus 2.02% interest on checking. Sounds too good to be true???

Marcus (Goldman Sachs) online savings rate just raised to 1.7%. (I like accounts that just raise the rate you’re earning & don’t make you re-apply for a new account. PurePoint does this as well - raised recently to 1.75%)

Tried again to verify trial deposits & got the same message. Called them & they told me it was because the account I was applying for was no longer offered as of 5/17. They would not grandfather me in even tho I had started the app before 5/17. Said I would have to re-apply for the account paying 1.85%. No thanks, Popular. You just lost a customer. And a six figure customer at that! I did open an account at Investors Bank & it’s earning 1.9% so I guess I’ll put a few more bucks in that account for now.

Now I don’t know what’s going on. I just got an email from Popular Direct saying my account would be funded as soon as I verified the trial deposits. I have already set up an account with Investors earning 1.9%. Gawd, why is this so hard???

Popular Direct reduced its rate on savings account to 1.85%. I applied when the rate was 2%, got confirmation & trial deposits, then tried to verify the account & got a message that they wouldn’t open an account for me. I had already moved some money around in preparation to transfer the funds to PD & now it’s just sitting in checking. WTF???
