Easy to use website, $1 min. balance, quick transfers. There biggest benefit in my opinion is how easy it is to open a second, third and fourth savings account. Its takes less than 90 seconds! These extra accounts prove to be great when paying for things using a "sinking fund" approach. I.E. I know my car registration is $90 in December. I setup an auto transfer of $15 a month for six months and I have the money plus interest when that expense rolls around. I have probably close to 15 accounts setup for various expenses just like this. Plus the interest discount is bigger than anything Visa, Mastercard or Discover will ever offer! Works great!
