We're slowing seeing more and more money market accounts hit 5%. Last week, Countrywide starting offering 5% for balances over $50K in its new Savingslink account (see Countrywide Bank post). The smallest balance requirement so far is BankUnited with a $5K mininum (see BankUnited post). interState Net Bank is close behind with a $10K minimum (see interState Net Bank post).
