Hi all, been a while. Just a quick question, I see the current highest paying savings accounts at the top of this page but I'm wondering if anyone has advice on which is the safest/most secure. I want to open an acct for my 1 year old daughter. Yup, Molly turned one on April 12th, man does time fly!

Thanks!

Christine

ps. Hope everyone is doing well and making lots of money

That's the one I was thinking of too.

your welcome

Hi,

If you are still looking, HSBC has one of the best offer around and is a major bank, TOTALLY SECURE. I bank with them since i moved to hongkong in 2001 and could not be happier. For those of you who can put in a minimum of 20k, they have a great deal offshore at 5.22% for premier customer (5.5% for GBP!!). Sometimes they have special offers, I currently have my money there a 6%!!! Check it out:

MY PERSONAL OFFER TO YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER:

If you decide to join HSBC, pls. do it through me, I will refer you and then give you USD50 out of my commission.

Thanks.

Sorry to ask this but where do you want the account to be at? Perhaps with a location and an initial amount, I would be able to help recommend a good bank for yourself.

If you're still looking for an account then I would very strongly recommend ING Direct. They're an online-only bank, so you have to feel comfortable with that. But the interest is great. They have a checking account that pays 4%, a savings account that pays 4.5%, and CDs that pay about 5%. They're customer service is outstanding too.

If you send me a PM I can give you a referral link, and if you sign up through that link they'll give you $25!

If you are in USA, and you have enough for their minimums, I would open an account for her with Vanguard.
They have many investment options.
