HSBCdirect.com has a 5.05% rate. I have an account with them, haven't had any problems yet. They also let me have an ATM card in case I need money quickly. I don't think ING does that.
 
That's a good rate...I've used DWS Scudder (and it's previous incarnations) for the last six years or so. Their money market account is currently at 4.96%. No ATM card, but I have checkwriting ($500 minimum check).
 
all of those places listed above is clean? or no problems ever?

anyone here have experience w/ ings direct?

thinkin about to try them out

money market, mutual funds?
These are two very different instruments.

In simple terms, a money market is like a savings account and a mutual fund is like investing in stocks.

For long term growth, stocks are a good place to put your money.

For emergency funds, that grow slowly over time, a savings account or money market can be good.
