I’ve always like Washington Mutual and their high 3.75% APY savings account. I’ve been with them for over three years and always get great customer services. By signing up online, you will get free checking, 1 free overdraft per year, free checks, and many more. Even better, you can now open an IRA account with them and get $100 contribution reward toward your investment IRA.
From the website:
Have you started planning for your retirement yet? If you haven’t, we make contributing to a retirement account simple with our Retirement Made Easy program—and $100 says you’ll love it.
Open a Washington Mutual IRA through WaMu Investments with as little as $250, then set up automatic monthly IRA contributions for at least $100 per month from your Washington Mutual consumer checking account—and you’ll get a $100 contribution reward toward your new Retirement Made Easy IRA account.
We’ll even waive the annual IRA maintenance fee if you meet certain program requirements
Make sure you have a Checking account first, then call (800) 888-0055 along with the $100 printout. Open the investment account with $250 deposit, and set up automatic withdrawal $100 per month. You must set this for 12 months consecutively in order to waive the annual maintenance fee and to keep the $100 bonus. If you think about it, your maximum investment is $1450 for the whole year. You will get $100 bonus, which is like an automatic 8% return rate. Of course, your return could be more or less, depending on how the stock market goes.
Open a free checking and high-yield savings account, with a 3.75% APY by filling out the WaMu Free Checking™ application. Learn more!
And if you apply for a WaMu’s ESPN credit card(2500 Bonus Points), you get to see your FICO score for free each month.
