My Bank pays me an interest rate of 0.466% [I Hate Banks]

So pathetic that I wrote to them to voice my displeasure
They wrote back stating that they are in line with other banks.
What interest does your bank offer, if you do not mind disclosure?

1 percent on checking if you maintain a balance of 3 thousand dollars
Almost like they sit around smoking cigars laughing their tits off.. whilst conspiring to make sure we all get a shit deal.

Imagine if one broke away and offered a way better deal.. would they not steal all the other bank bizz?

So why dont they?

CRONY capitalism

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I am about to write to my bank again and say exactly that.
If you raise your interest rate to 5%, the influx of deposits would make you one of the most profitable banks.
I will let you know their response in a week or so.
@Gusman $50 you wont get a reply.. we’re not meant to be smart enough to ask reasonable questions

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I got a reply when I questioned them dropping the interest rate from .6% to .466%.
So I think they will reply. I might say I will be taking my money out and putting it under my bed😄
That's a lot 😲 I get 0.01% for savings I can withdraw immediately. If I'm willing to announce a withdrawal 90 days ahead, I'll get 0.02%. And for the part above € 100,000 it's -0.5%. (That doesn't apply to me though.)

1% if you lock it down

@SW-User More than double my bank. Congratulations

@Gusman right..you lock down a million of your money for 10 grand a year..that’s why people buy property instead
I get no interest at all...

This link seems to claim the best available for saving account is 0.57% (and I'm not sure it's the best banks offering the higher percentage either).

@MarmeeMarch I always voice my opinion simply to let them know that we (the Public) disagree with their Corporate Decisions.
My disapproval is on file.
