    I remember there being a discussion about this a couple of months ago but can't find it. I am going to sign up for one in the next couple of days but would like to get some feed back about which ones are best.

    Here's a link to a comparison article.

    ING looks good but they just went to a variable as of 9/19/07 and new accounts start at 4.3%.

    These seem to be the best from the list. Slightly lower % but they offer lower minimums.

    # Emigrant Direct offers 5.05% APY, no fees, can link to other bank accounts, web interface. No minimum.

    # E*Trade offers 5.05% APY, no fees, an automatic savings plan, can
    link to other bank accounts. $1 minimum to open.

    # HSBC Direct offers 5.05% APY (with a temporary 6.00% APY promotion), no fees, can link to other bank accounts, web interface. $1 minimum to open. The HSBC web site is a busy mess.

    # Capitol One offers 5.00% APY, no fees, free checks and ATM card, an automatic savings plan, can link to other bank accounts. $1 minimum to open. This is a money market account.

    AmTrust Direct offers 5.36% APY, “no monthly service fee or minimum balance fees”, can link to other bank accounts. $1000 minimum. This is a money market account.

    I <3 ING. It is down to 4.3% thanks to the rate cut, but HSBC was down to 4.5% the last time I checked.
