Consumerism Commentary visitor Diane asked about the bank that is currently topping the list of high-yield savings accounts, OneUnited, which is currently offering 5.30% APY.
I wonder about that Unity Gold E-Savings at OneUnited at the top of the list. That is 1% better than Emigrant where I am now, which translates into $500/year. Have you heard anything about it? If I understand the website correctly they only credit the account quarterly. Anyone have any dealings with it?
I have no experience with OneUnited, so if anyone else does, please feel free to leave a comment. I’ve read that people have had poor experiences with customer support and ACH transfers are often delayed beyond the standard 3-day period. The account requires a $1,000 minimum initial deposit and interest is only earned when the balance is above $1,000. They do credit your interest quarterly, so you could end up losing a substantial amount of interest if you close at the “wrong time,” like right before the interested is credited.
How important is that? Are you willing to deal with poor customer service in order to receive one of the highest rates?
