You’ve probably heard about Citibank. Even with their stock price at record lows, they are still a safe place to put your hard-earned cash. Right now they are running an ad campaign that says “save today, feel good about tomorrow”. We think that is a financially healthy message. Here are a couple of the high yield savings accounts that Citi is offering right now (written 3/9/09). 
Ultimate Money Account – 1.50%APY*
This savings account gives you a higher rate just for paying bills online from your Citibank checking account.
* Requires a checking account in an eligible relationship package.1
* $100 minimum opening deposit
Ultimate Savings Account- 2.10%APY*
his savings account is best if you just want a high-yield account, plain and simple.
* No monthly fee3
* $100 minimum opening deposit
Both are Internet & Phone Exclusive, which just means you can’t talk to a person at the branch. Keeping service costs down is probably what helps them keep the rates so good.
If you are in savings mode, you should consider accounts like these. We have seen similar offers from ING, Orange, and Chase. So you have your choice.
