My Savings Direct, a division of Emigrant, is continuing its drip-drip-drip lowering of savings rates with rates now at 1.60% APY.   While a lowering of rates is perfectly understandable in the current environment, it is disappointing to long-term customers as Emigrant is currently offering a 1.80% APY rate in its Dollar Savings Direct accounts.

    Online Savings Rates

    with all of these online bank, including the well known ones, delaying transfers forever in order to fund these high rates, this one still executes inbound and outbound transfers immediately.

    They said would notify me in 2 business days about my savings application which had nothing wrong. 5 business days now and no response was given, not even an email.

    Online Savings Rates

    I have had my saving direct,dollar savings direct and emigrant for many years. I have never had issues with bank to bank transfers, either in funding or with withdrawal s. You do need to keep on top of them for rate changes, but big deal. If they drop too low,just move your money. I closed emigrant since they are not competitive with the other two. You have to shop around for the best rates on CDs too. My checking account is still paying less than 1%!!

    Online Savings Rates

    I opened an account this morning when I saw the 4.35%. My bad. I had tried with Emigrant or Dollar Savings years ago and forgot that it is impossible to add funding accounts and they never accepted a Morgan Stanley account. The rate is still nice, and they don't play games with delaying deposits and setting caps on withdrawals like the other NY banks.
