Thoughts
These use to be more reasonable. Interest rate is the standard 0.01%, the offer does say the money can be invested… then it wouldn’t be in the checking account so not sure how. Possibly some kind of tie in Premier product.
Abysmal. My calculator shows about 5.22% effective APY. Money is tied up for 6 months and have to DD $5K per month to avoid $50 / mo fee. I can get 5.29% APY in Vanguard settlement account right now, with no work at all. Lordy. What are they thinking?
