That'll be HSBC, Citibank and Emigrant Direct all canceled in a month. I had a combined $132 between all three accounts, so they won't miss my money. HSBC was the biggest interest payment from all my bank accounts last year though, but I moved my money to BoA late in the year out of convenience. I'll be keeping ING Direct though. I've earned a good bit of referral money from them, so they can stay. I guess I’ll cancel my HSBC account too. That’ll be HSBC, Citibank and Emigrant Direct all canceled in a month.

I've been feeling almost the same way about my online savings account. Only my bank's washed out horse is their fabulous service. I just "adjusted" the location of my deposits from ING Direct (still paying less than HSBC) to Emigrant Direct (just lowered to 4.05%, so still paying more than HSBC). You've made a nice catch. I'm trying to stay liquid right now because I'm also switching checking accounts (my old one had my social security number as the account number, which I loved because I could remember it, but which sadly is also very stupid, so I am finally getting rid of it). So I'm in that phase where I've requested that all my automated stuff be switched over, but I don't quite know when the move will happen for each thing. That’s funny.
