Who Wants a Higher APY on Their Savings?
Posted by Rachel on July 23rd, 2008 filed in Bank AccountsWe recently researched some of the top savings accounts available today to find the one that provides the best APY and no hassle sign up. The top savings account we found is provided by Wilmington Trust, a highly recognized institution in the online savings industry. Their WTDirect Savings Account will not only increase your savings, but will also improve your credit score. Inside Secret: There is no minimum fee on the WTDirect account so you are not required to maintain a high account balance, just having one of these accounts opened can improve your credit score! Although we do suggest putting as much money into the savings account as possible, because helping you save your money and earn more interest is our ultimate goal.
Wilmington Trust is an online financial service offering an introductory APY (annual percentage yield) of 3.26% for 60 days. After 60 days your APY remains at 3.26% if your account balance is $10,000 or more. If your account balance is less than $10,000 the APY is be 0.50%, which is still great compared to other saving accounts! The APY for an average traditional bank account is 0.36%, lower than the APY offered by WTDirect. Since the WTDirect Savings Account is considered high-yield, it has a potential APY of over 5%.
WTDirect Savings Account is the best option for high return and low risk. We recommend taking advantage of this high introductory APY to put more money into your bank account. Here is how you sign up.
