Redneck Bank offers a pretty good rate if you have less than $25,000 in savings. I hear their user interface is less than ideal.

No, Redneck Bank is not a joke. It really does exist.

anyone check out the finance forums at the website Fatwallet.com? they have really good discussions about savings/checkings accounts, mortages, dealds, etc. its sorta of the studentdoctor.net analogy for finance matters
