Dollar Savings Direct Lowers Rate

Posted January 26, 2009 by Chuck Posted in:

Last month I was disappointed by the decline in interest rate on my Countrywide Savings Account (which is now all the way down to 1.75% now) . I decided to switch to Dollar Savings Direct who was offering a 4.0% APY online savings account.

Well, last week Dollar Savings Direct lowered their rate to 3.5% APY.

While disappointing, I can’t say it was unexpected. Its still just about the highest savings rate out there even after dropping half a point. Seems like I made the right move switching when I did as their rate is 2x what Countrywide is currently at, whose rates became uncompetitive when their banking division was swallowed by Bank of America. I plan on continuing to use Dollar Savings.
