HSBC Direct & FNBO Direct Rate Changes
It looks like we’re in the world of dropping interest rates as the Fed looks to combat a recession, banks are anticipating that they’ll cut rates in the next meeting (after the emergency cut just a few short weeks ago). Today, two banks lowered their rates by a quarter of a percent.
HSBC Direct lowered the yield on their high yield savings account to 3.00% APY (from 3.25%) and FNBO Direct dropped their savings account to 3.25% APY (from 3.50%). If you’re looking for dependable guaranteed rates, look towards CDs. ING Direct just increased some of their CD rates. I keep an updated list of the best 6, 12, and 18 month CDs.
