High Interest Saving Accounts

I’ve tried two higher interest saving accounts. These rates beat any local rates I could find by a long shot. The first one was ING Direct. The whole process was very simple for this bank. Their website is very friendly and easy to navigate. Transferring money into the account was also a snap.

HSBC was the other bank I’ve tried. Their rate is slightly higher than ING Direct. The application process was quite a bit more involved and transferring money was a little bit more work, but in the end everything went quite smooth.

For overall user-friendly website, I will give the nod to ING Direct, but for interest rate, the edge goes to HSBC.
