HSBC Savings Rates of 2011 – March 21, 2011 – HSBC is one of the most recognizable banking names in much of the developed world. For personal banking consumers, HSBC has a major presence in France, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil and the United States. They offer a full suite of personal banking products from credit cards to home loans, retirement planning and insurance. Within the savings vertical, and more specifically the US’s FDIC insured deposit market, their products are pumping out yields which make even those with vast sums of cash wonder if it’s even worth the hassle to open an account.
Truth About Swiss Bank Accounts – February 23, 2011 – When you think about Swiss Banks, the first thing that comes to mind is likely Switzerland’s well-known commitment to privacy. The Swiss banks have been getting money from the rich and the filthy-rich since the Middle Ages. These account holders are then known externally only by their account numbers, and only the banks know their true identities.
3.0% APY Savings Rates – January 11, 2011 – For those in the market for a bank CD, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the difficulty in tracking down a 3.0% APY CD in today’s economic climate. Back in 2008, 3% APY CDs were the lowest of the low for CD rates. Even 6 month CDs were yielding significantly more than that. Today, the average APY for 5 year CDs sits at a measly 2.25% and the best 5 year CDs (available nationwide) are providing an annual percentage yield of just over 2.60%.
