Customer Reviews for Dollar Savings Direct, a division of Emigrant Bank (28)

    Online Savings Rates

    I'll steer clear of Dollar Savings Direct and My Savings Direct until they guarantee users at both online divisions their best rates. Banks have the right to segment their customers yes, but these games with moving rates at one and not the other are silly and don't value us and force us to move money all around to stay competitive.

    This is my third time around the block with Dollar and Emigrant. There is always a time to come and a time to go. It is an easy bank to work with and as long as the rate is competitive, it is fine. So, with the rate at 3.11% and most banks below 3%, this is a time to come.

    Online Savings Rates

    has strange old rules for link external bank , takes more time and difficult for no check writing today, just want advised for their name and dont want you deposit money to their bank for 3% interest.

    Online Savings Rates

    Had bad experiences before but they kept the account open with a zero balance for years. I'll try again and hope for a better outcome.

    Online Savings Rates

    I disagree strongly with some of the other reviews here. This is a known bank in New York with a functional website. Sure they play games with the different rates on different sites, but it is worth betting that they'd be too smart to lower the rate now. It is 3% now. You need to ignore the nonsense and take what comes at you. Just pay attention. Would you really rather be in Barclays @ 2 or Ally @ 2.1?
