5.25% Savings Account at Countrywide ($50K+)
Jun 23, 2006 - 12:41 PM by Ken Tumin
Countrywide increased the yield on its new saving account (Savingslink) from 5.00% to 5.25% APY on balances over $50K. The rate also increased 0.25% for smaller balances. The APY is now 4.50% for balances between $1K and $50K. No interest is earned for balances under $1K. The last Savingslink rate hike occurred 3 weeks ago when the yield on large balances increased from 4.50% to 5.00% APY.
Savingslink is a new savings account at Countrywide. I first mentioned it in this May 19th post. It's very similar to other online savings accounts. There are no minimum balance requirements and no monthly fees. You can link up to 3 external accounts, and all links can be done online.
One important note regarding Countrywide is that it has been reported that it does a hard credit pull for every new account that you open.

good luck to you if there is any error on your Equifax report. You will be rejected and told to get Equifax to fix the problem. they may or may not even tell you what the problem is.

Does Country Wide raise the rate to 5.25% for those already with an account there?
