3/15/09 - Health Savings Account Overview and Finding the Best HSA
Connexus Credit Union
Very well designed website for applying for a money market account. Very fast response to application. Excellent rates on money market accounts. Also great talking to their customer service representatives.
Better Savings Interest Rates And Friendly Service
I chose Connexus because of it offers higher interest rates on savings accounts compared with others. Connexus has also given me friendly and helpful service. It took me a while to make a connection with someone in the IRA section, but once I contacted Cathy, she was friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure working with her. I'm happy that I found Connexus.
Some Good Rates, Watch Out For Unusual Account Rules
Banks are mostly standardized, but each credit union has its own specific account rules. As can be seen by other posters, Connexus has some unusual rules that can be costly if not known. For example, their money market only allows 4 schedule D transactions per month. Another Connexus rule is that ach transfer dollar amounts are limited for both incoming and outgoing ach's -- including new Connexus account funding ach transfers initiated at an external institution. It takes significant time to find all the rules as they are frequently not in Connexus documents or known by CS reps.
Watch Out! Actual CD Yields Missleading
While the CD rates look attractive, there are some big downsides here. Funds into and out of CDs get charged a $20 fee both ways or you have the choice of paper checks by snail mail or an ACH transfer policy akin to many South American countries monetary policies (money can come in, but not out) - unlimited ACH's in but only 5k a day and 25k a month out (and through an addtional separate account).
