Etrade Financial Reviews

I opened up a Complete Savings Account with Etrade Financial earlier this year.  After doing some online research looking at interest rates, customer service, and account holder feedback, Etrade Financial repeatedly came out on top.

The Etrade Financial Complete Savings Account is currently earning a 3.30% Annual Percentage Yield (APY).  This is much higher than any of my local banks, and is also higher than other online banks. 

Some of the benefits of the Etrade Financial Complete Savings Account are:

Only a $1 minimum deposit to open an account.

No minimum balance required and no account...

I like the trade options in etrade, what I don't like is they lure you in with low commission rate of $7.99 and then bump it up twice to $12.99 and other hidden fees.

It also makes me loose consumer confidence when etrade stock is earning is roughly $1.20 a share and near the point of bankruptcy.  So if the company goes down will my account and money be safe?  I had to ask twice to even get an answer.  For the most part they like to dodge questions.
