www.hsbc.com has a money market account that will pay 6% through the end of April on new deposits. Worth a look imo. Take care.

Ketchup, where should I look on that site, I can't find that quote. I have a CD that matured last week and was holding it in savings until another one matures on the 17th of February. I want to put them together as they'll total $29K and it would be nice to earn 6%. My best interest rate so far on a CD has been 5.12% on a 9 month deposit. We do have a local HSBC, so maybe it will warrant a trip down there today! Thanks for the info!

After you hit the main page look for your country's link. click on that then look around for the money market account. If you can't find it you should be able to find a customer service number. Be sure to mention the 6% offer just to be sure. Happy investing.

i just called. the young girl didn't seem to know much. for those who have used online banking (or whatever this is called), have you had any problems? after the end of April, could the interest rate change drastically? i guess one can't really know. i wish i hadn't thought about this so late. i need to get to sleep. i just checked my statement. since we haven't purchased our home yet, we have had a very large sum of money in a cd with b of a for several years. i'm just realizing that we haven't received much interest at all. i'm going to have to call the client manager tomorrow and get this handled. we have been w/b of a for about 20 years. it's time dh and i get smart about our money. sadly, we have not been smart about getting some interest on that money we've let b of a "use". especially these last several years.
