The best bank promo i saw was that the bank near my home was giving away a free slow cooker (costs 10-15 dollars)with every checking account open\n\nI know its......lame\n\nI once used a bank product to sell some stocks of radio-shack.\n\nAll I had to do was give them the certificate, and they put it into an on-line account. I then sold all the stocks for a fee of around 15 dollars on a 3200.00 transaction

Washington Mutual Bank. For CDs with a term of 12 months or less you can deposit up to the original deposit amount. Currently the 12 month term rate is around 4.7%. If you don't have a Washington Mutual where you live, you can open them online at http://www.wamu.com

Just had some travellers' cheques at a rate of $1.81 to the pound\nTherefore\n\n$23.50  is the answer to question (at the moment).\n\nTry putting in 'tourist rates' in a search engine, for more up to date rates!

Right now your best bet is HSBC Online. They offer 4.8% until the end of April. Citi is solid with 4.5%. You can also open a Paypal account and enroll in its Money Market account and save according to your needs. Finally, overall, the best would have the be the high yield Orange accounts with ING.

They do,  but the banks and building societies delay as long as they can.  Ive got a Chelsea Building society postal savings account which is guaranteed to be 0.6% above the Bank of England base rate. So it will automatically rise from 5.35% to 5.6% now that the new rate applies.  I dont know if it is still available to new savers though.

compare the rates of savings accounts and CD's a Bankrate.com\nThis is a legit website that ranks the top returns for each.  You'll find that many of the online banks offer accounts that can most likely be linked to your checking  account.  HSBC, INGdirect, emmigrantdirect.com are all decent sites that offer great savings rates.  Being in college you may want to consider putting a portion into a tax deferred account for retirement.  You're never too young to start saving for retirement.

It is best for you to shop around at all the banks here.  Check out their websites, they will normally post their interest rates on-line.  Try:\n\nChase\nBank of Kenosha\nJohnson Bank\nSouthport Bank \nNorth Shore Bank\nEducators Credit Union\nSouthern Lakes Credit Union\nAMCCU (American Motors Community Credit Union)\nBank of Elmwood\n(I would advise you to stay away from TCF, that is just from what I have heard from others)\n\n... that is all I can think of right now.\n\nYou can also check bankrate.com for a listing of national rates, so you can tell what the norm is.

HSBC is currently offering 4.25% APY with no minimum deposit.  ING Direct and Emigrant Direct are both offering around 4% with no minimum deposit.  Check rates frequently at www.bankrate.com

There are hundreds. Probably the most reputable is CheckIntoCash (http://checkintocash.com/). Bascially you write them a check, and they hold it for up to two weeks before cashing it.\n\nThe problem with all these companies is the fees they take. Many of the one-off places will charge much as 50% for the privilege, although I believe 20% is more the norm.\n\nConsidering how much you'll lose on the transaction, only do this if you really have no other choice.

You can try www.bankrate.com, or try some of the online banks like ING, Capital One Bank, or Allstate Bank

Capital One and ING offer the best high yield savings account.  There is no minimum, and there are no fees to maintain.  I just opened one up with Capital One, and there interest rates are 4.25%.  You're not going to find much better than that.  With both of these accounts, you can have them linked to your checking account.

When choosing a bank, the "best" bank really depends on what type of account you are looking to open. In other words, if you are opening a savings account, then obviously the "best" bank would be one that offers the highest interest return on your money. But I am assuming that you are going to open a checking account because you also want access to many ATM machines. I am a customer of Washington Mutual Bank, having a checking account there. They suit my needs the best because they have numerous ATM locations, but most importantly, they truly have FREE checking. In other words you don't get charged monthly maintenance fees, etc. I looked them up online for you and they appear to also have many ATM machines throughout NYC: http://clients.mapquest.com/wamu/mqlocator?screen=find&link=results&linktype=results&smap=wamu_map&width=300&height=225&sqlWhere=%28QUAL%281%29+and+%28QUAL%282%29%29%29&queryRadius=500&queryMax=20&queryUseOrigin=1&queryCenterOrigin=1&closestprox=1&miles=500&type=wamu&country=US&sqlcol1=POL_DIV_2&sqlcnd1=%3D&sqlval1=NY&sqlcol2=ATM&sqlcnd2=like&sqlcol3=OFF_TYPE&sqlcnd3=like&sqlcol4=OFF_TYPE&sqlcnd4=like&sqlcol5=TALKINGATM&sqlcnd5=like&sqlcmb2=OR&sqlcmb3=OR&sqlcmb4=OR&streetaddress=&city=new+york+city&state=NY&zip=&sqlval2=Y&map_display=true&closestn=20&x=5&y=12 . Check them out if you'd like. \n\nUltimately they may not be the best bank to suit your needs. If they don't have the features you are looking for, or you decide you want a different bank, you can always check out http://www.bankrate.com/brm/default.asp and search for banks in your area and compare them through specific features you want. I hope this helps, good luck with your move!
