Up to a Very High 2.50% APY Offered by the Best Savings Accounts
It is saddening to note, although the rates they are offering are far reaching and found nationwide, that it has to be these small banks which can offer the best rates to depositors all over the country. This is just a sign that many bank today has place not much importance on the savings account depositors. These customers are not very much appreciated at present. In fact, there are a lot of banks today which offer very low rates to depositors. Ironically, most of these are the big banks. Some of them are offering a very low 0.10% to 0.25% APY. Chase Bank is at the bottom of the desirables with a measly 0.01% APY given to its savings account depositors as well as its money market accounts. Hopefully, no other banks will match, or worse, beat the rate offered by Chase.
For additional information, the Bank of Internet USA operates online and is based in San Diego, USA. The 2.50% APY is earned on the Advantage savings account. Your money with them is FDIC insured.

It however requires a minimum deposit of $2,500. We include Tennessee Commerce in our best of the best with no negative comments given about it.
Lastly, Goldwater Bank has also just one branch located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
