E-Loan Drops Savings Rate to 1% (5k or lower) By Mr. B(Rates may be out-dated. Please see the Current APY Wiki for updates) This is just a quick “heads up” for those of you with E-Loan savings accounts. If your account has a balance under $5,000, your rate has suddenly dropped down to a measly 1%. That’s ONE PERCENT! Take a look:
Did E-Loan bother to e-mail customers to mention this rate change? Nope. I didn’t get one, anyway. Imagine my surprise when I logged in and saw how little my savings meant to them. Though I didn’t have much money there (especially since their rates have languished in comparison to almost every other online bank), I immediately withdrew the entire amount. E-Loan was the first online savings account I ever opened (back when they were offering 5.5% APY). Oh, those were the days. If you use E-Loan for savings, just make sure you stay over 5 grand. There are many better options out there for lesser amounts. Useful Links: It is not too late to start taking steps towards debt management.
