I would expect no fees after 4/30. If rate goes south, I will go elsewhere.

In the process of transferring my wifes 401K into an IRA. At the moment the best rate I have found is for 5yrs is 5.92% at the present moment and no fees. This was literally right on our doorstep. Bit of a swine really but I suppose I will have to bite the bullet

A nice rate but they hammer you to move your money over the internet to your checking account and hammer you on ATM withdrawals. It is nice to see the "stitch up your customers with silly fees" mentality has come over from the UK with HSBC. For a good rate check out www.emigrantdirect.com

Also ING is paying 4.75% on new deposits until March...
