Overall Score

Emigrant has offered an online savings account for years. The rate is usually slight better than average. I see their rate as the barometer for all other accounts. Emigrant is usually the first one to move their rates and all other players follow. They are very responsive with their rate moves. If the Fed makes an announcement on Tuesday that affects markets, you can be sure to see a rate change from Emigrant by the end of the week.

They provide a great deal of security. It's a solid product, if you don't need a great deal of access to your funds. I would rate them higher, if we had more access to our money.

Rate History:

Their rate is usually slight above average, maybe a quarter of a point. They offer an annual promotion that usually last for 90 days.
