You have to sign up to view the "results" which are no better than heading to bankrate.com or checkingfinder.com. They don't tell you what "terms" you are looking at until you're already in it. I can't imagine what the system is "doing" while it supposedly runs its bids. why is it not nearly instant? Looks like theatrics to me.

I'm giving it a miss and recommending you try out the usual suspects and take advantage of the new account deals when switching.

I love ING and they are my main bank, but you can't get 2.25% anymore. This is way out of date. Savings are down at 1.5% (25March09) and if you've got at least $50k you can get 1.65% with them.

For Wesolows: check out goldmoney.com or hit up wikipedia @ "digital gold currency". I don't use them or any other digital gold.

I use ING (and temporarily, Everbank). Nothing special to report except that I am really happy at ING with their BillPay, put the phone number of the place you are paying with the check and they call to set up ACH transfers, its very nice and saves a lot on fees, though their rates are lagging a little behind.
