Whats the highest yeilding savings/checking account I can get and with what bank.?

Question

I live in Hillsboro Oregon and I will only have about $1000.00 to start up with. Right now I have 1000.00 in my US Bank savings account and I am only yielding 10 cents a month. That's a joke and that's their highest yielding savings account. I need some suggestions. Thanks.

Answer 1

I would go with e-trade online, they have a savings account with $1 minimum startup, no maintenance fees, no fees for low balance, pays 5.05% interest, (which is about $4 a month on $1000)
