I did one a couple of weeks ago and it transferred within a day or two. I've since done another and it has been 5 business days and it still isn't available for trading! I lost potential gains because I couldn't buy on Friday and I'm not very happy about that. Both transfers were from the same credit union. Was Etrade intentionally slowing down transfers because they were getting too busy with the market plunge? I’ve had different experiences with money transfers.

I opened an account with them just after they raised their rate to 3.3%, and have put money into it every single week. You receive credit for the interest that same day, though your money might not clear for two or three days. It's too bad existing customers can't get this deal. Then again, a $5,000 minimum balance? Sheesh! I need to save that much first. YES, Etrade’s transfers are quick. I opened an account with them just after they raised their rate to 3.3%, and have put money into it every single week.

That is awesome. One thing I don't like about ING is that they take so long to transfer money back and forth. That's pretty much my only drawback about them. Otherwise, I love them! Thanks for the tip. Wow! That is awesome. One thing I don’t like about ING is that they take so long to transfer money back and forth. That’s pretty much my only drawback about them.
