Current Savings and Checking Rates

May 6, 2005 08:31 PM PST

Since Bankrate.com’s list is often incomplete, here is a list of high-yielding checking and savings accounts. The table below lists the accounts and their interest rates (APY), as well as any comments, as of May 5, 2005 (5/5/5). Leave a comment if you have any updates and I will add them into the table.

Note: You can find the latest version of this table here.
