6 Month CD, 2.15%APY, $1000 Minimum - 8/1/2018

I guess to compensate for not raising their rate, they are offering 2.15% for 6 months. This is very intriguing. Given the lost interest from the time to transferr to another bank, plus effort, this seems a good short term place holder.

No Longer Claims To Be Top Rate In America. - 7/27/2018

Dollar Savings Direct changed their logo to "One of the top rates in America". They no longer want to be the rate leader. I gues this is the end of DSD. Except for their fast next day ACH, their isn't much reason to continue banking with them.

No Problems But Rate Isn't The Best Anymore.

Posted by: Ben111 | Jul 12, 2018

I've had a great experience with this bank! No problems what so ever. I love how you are able to see how much interest you have gained daily on their sight. Only problem is, now we have other savings options at 2% compared to 1.8 offered here. I will be opening an account elsewhere and transfering my money over next week unless im lucky enough for the rate here to climb before.??

No Real Complaints Yet :)

Posted by: trailspeed | Mar 21, 2018

Had this savings account for a week, better than live oak bank. DSD website is fast, clean layout, all the details of the account is displayed just like Ally, respond to secure messages very quickly, transfers next business day even though the terms says 2-4, and best interest rate w/o playing games to get current interest rate offered.

Issues to keep in mind (because who writes a review with only nice things to say right?!), the terms state DSD may exercise their right to require 60 day written notice to withdraw money, and DSD said in email they never have exercised that right, and DSD has priors to raise interest then drop it back down after meeting quota.

Warning - This Is Not A Liquid Account

Posted by: slovokia | Jul 13, 2017

Dollar Savings Direct reserves the right to hold your money for 60 days after you notify them of your intention to withdraw your money.

"Refusal to Permit Withdrawal
The Bank may refuse to permit withdrawals in cases such as, but not limited to, the following:

The Bank chooses to exercise its legal rights to require up to 60 days advance written notice of any intended withdrawal from this Account and the 60 days have not passed since we received the required notice from you;"

From: https://www.dollarsavingsdirect.com/DollarSavingsDirectWeb/en/common/help/consumer/AccountDisclosures.jsp

So while the interest rate might be nice you are potentially locking up your money for 2 months. So if you want to invest in the stock market during a financial crisis you may not be able to do it with money on deposit at Dollar Savings Direct.

For comparison purposes most other internet banks only reserve the requirement of 7 days advanced notice for withdrawals.

Can't Withdrawal From External Source

Posted by: skynet | May 2, 2017

Evidently, the only way you can withdrawal your money through ACH is by initiating it from their website. You can't have another externally linked bank debit the funds. Interesting however that you can have an external bank deposit the funds, but the same bank cannot withdrawal them. Totally unacceptable in my opinion. A stupid policy like this is an excellent way to lose customers.
