Finally Citibank has created an online only savings account to compete with the other online banks in terms of interest rates (APY). This is very good news specially when we take into account their reputation. Citigroup, the parent conglomerate, is one of the largest financial services company in the world with business history dating back to 1812. It definitely gives the added peace of mind that our money is in safe hands as compared to unknown and unheard of online banks (quite often fledglings and without any track record).
E-Savings is an online savings account that earns a robust 4.50% APY (as of 03/28/06) with no minimum balance required. When you apply for e-Savings, you also get a Citibank EZ Checking account. Watch your money grow and get total control over your finances at the same time.
