I was looking at the the e-savings accounts online. The APR looks real tempting. Are they really what they say they are, or are there too many catches and fine print to read?

I have an ING Direst account and my APY has gone up steadily since I have had it for the past 1.5 years. No catches at all with ING. Citibank has one now as well but you need to have a checking account with them.

I tried to apply online (the only way to get the high interest rate) with Washington Mutual.
Despite the fact that I have very good credit, established checking and savings accounts as well as a credit card in good standing with Washington Mutual, I was denied the e-Savings account. No one could explain why.

In California, my experience with two institutions that are "FDIC" insured, has been very good. Much more interest than standard bank savings accounts. I have had 1 account for 5 years, the other for 2 years, with no problems.

I think they're are great.
I have one with ING direct. It's easy, safe & great interest rate.
