American Express Bank now offers a couple of personal investment online banking products. Their highest CD rates are on a 2 year/24 month certificate of deposit with 2.00% APY interest.
AMEX Bank also has a variable interest rate “high yield’ savings account that currently earns a generous 1.50% APY. While this bank rate is subject to change it is defintely a competative rate. Capital One direct banking (online only) actually has higher savings rates at 1.55% APY but $2,500 minimum average daily balance must be maintained to earn that interest rate. Also the first twenty five hundred dollars in the account do not earn any interest at all: 0%. American Express pays interest on the entire bank account balance.
