What is the current minium interest rate available for a savings account?

Some passbook savings accounts pay as low as 0.5%. The average money market savings account rate as of today is 2.92%, but I don't believe there is any regulated 'minimum.'

I personally have an HSBC online-saver account. It is run solely over the internet banking system, and because of this, and because it means that HSBC don't have to employ any staff to manage the account or handle paperwork, the interest rate is higher. I believe it is currently 4.95%.\nAlternatively you could open an ISA account, which also have good rates of interest.\nYou're best bet is to go down to a building society or bank, and speak to a Customer Adviser. Be warned though, they will invariably try to get you to sign up for their own company's accounts. So if you go to Natwest, you will hear all about the greatness of Natwest. Shop around!\nHope this helps,\nRegard, Liam

Yep - it's still £3000 for a mini cash ISA, £7000 for a maxi. ISA'a will remain unchanged until 2010 - after that, who knows??

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate, less inflation.  In this case, we have RI = 0.1 - (-2.0) = 2.1%.

At this minute? I have no idea. However, check the link below link and you'll likely find today's rate(s) to be just about the same.

In the states, you will not easily beat ING http://www.ingdirect.com with 4.00% interest. It is easy to set up. All you need is a checking account somewhere.

Your math is correct but you have to remember that all rate are on annual basis. That means that if you invest 5000.00 for one year you will earn $27.00 after one year with 0.55%. \n\nThe difference between Money market account and saving account is following.\n\nMoney Market:\n\n-Ussualy requires higher minimum balance\n-You are limited to amount of withdraws (6 per month out of the six 3 can be checks)\n- Some Money Market accounts may not br FDIC insured\n\nSavings account:\n\n-Lower balance\n-Lower interest\n-Lower monthly fee if account is uder minimum balace\n-you can make up to 6 withraws per month no checks\n\n\nSome other regulations apply.\n\nHope this helps. If you need more info let me know.

I think they are all pretty much offering a rate of 3.5 if you look online. I suggest you consolidate or refinance before June 1st. Here in CT the rates are about to go up to 7%

If you got 3% interest annually it would be at $572.18 now.\n\nI get 3% on savings at my credit union, bank rates will be lower.

you can open an online savings account with an interest rate of 4.75 with citibank, or 4.65 with hsbc or emigrantdirect, it's a little lower than one year cds but you can get your money right away without penalty\n\nhave enough money in this account (about 3 months worth of expenses in case you lost your job) and the rest in cds

Between 10-20%.  10% gets you out of risk insurance, but if you can manage 20%, it can get you into the better interest rate.
