But the difference grows to over $300 if you have $50,000 in savings - that's when it really makes sense to search out the best interest rate.

It just comes down to who offers the best product, and ING has repeatedly seaid that their service puts them above the other banks, even those that offer higher interest rates. For some people, the best bank is simply the one offering the highest interest rate. I wouldn’t be surprised to know that ING Direct has more advertising expenses than Emigrant.

Also, ING is not going to raises rates that much because they have the big advertising campaign to pay for.
