Open a Free Checking Account at Washington Mutual and get a 5 Percent Savings Account
November 19th, 2006 | Posted by in Finance/Investment
Are there better interest rates out there? Sure there are, but with the convenience that WaMu offers & the little or no fees, a 5% interest account can’t be beat! The nice thing about this is that it isn’t only for new customers. I’ve been banking with WaMu for years and I signed up a 5% Savings account online and made and initial deposit directly from my existing checking account. The thing I like most about the 5.00% Savings Account is the fact that it is a savings account… it’s got complete liquidity. Current CD rates at Bankrate.com
- 6 Month CD – 4.77%
- 1 Year CD – 4.89%
Visit the WaMu signup page and get started earning some extra interest before time runs out: WaMu 5.00% APY Savings Account
This is a great offer, especially if you’re an existing WaMu customer who is earning about 0.25% with your existing Statement Savings Account. Make your money work for you!

I just saw that ING Direct is almost offering the same rate as WaMu:
ING Direct (http://www.ingdirect.com/) is an online bank and they have solid returns on their Money Market Savings Account with interest rates at 4.40% APY. They also have CD’s to check out.
