I have to say I'm getting pretty annoyed by this (their rates are dropping at a rate more frequently than once per month). Do they want to keep their customers?

We had seen that is was consistently higher than our ING savings account. However we have decided (two months later) to forgo the "extra" interest with HSBC and move all of our money back to ING. Reason being, in the two months that we were with HSBC we have had the *worst* customer service. They couldn't get my husbands log-in information or SSN correct, they were rude on the phone, and personally, I didn't like their interface. For all the headaches they put us through the extra money we would earn wasn't worth it to me. We are now happily set up at ING again, who I have not had a single issue with. I completely agree with Flexo in recommending ING, they truly provide a total package that you can't receive anywhere else.
