Updated List of Savings and Checking Account Rates

After yesterday’s drop in the target interest rate by the Federal Reserve Board, many banks reacted by dropping the interest rates offered on savings and money market accounts. I’ve updated the list of online savings and checking account interest rates with the changes.
