According to the fine print, you need to keep a balance of $10,000 to get that 2.25% rate. There have been points in my life when I've had that much money in the bank, but this is not one of them.
- Meegul 7y ago"Earn 2.25% APY when you have up to $10,000 in your account. Amounts over $10,000 will earn 0.50% APY." suggests that you get 2.25% on a balance _up to_ $10,000, not that that's the minimum for that rate.
- Cyberdog 7y agoAh… You're right. My mistake.
- function_seven 7y agoIt's the other way around. They only pay the 2.25% on the first $10k in your account. Any balance above that gets a lower rate (0.50%)

- mandelbrotwurst 7y agoWhat's your point?
- GeorgeWBasic 7y agoI think his point is that it's a pittance of an interest rate and the bank paying any less than that is basically stealing your money.
- sigio 7y agoInterest in almost all dutch banks is zero, or damn near zero (.1%), if not going negative soon enough.
- oarsinsync 7y agoIs there an option that gives me the liquidity of cash / bank balance, without the loss of money, that isn't a bank account? Best I can get in an immediate access bank account here is 1.35%. Cash is 0%. I can't pay rent and bills with anything else that I'm aware of. IE, Is there a way that doesn't result in someone 'basically stealing [my] money', or am I screwed no matter what?
