Pros

Cons
- Emigrant Bank, DSD's parent, has a history of offering competitive rates in one subsidiary for a few months and then making that rate less competitive and focusing on a different subsidiary.

Customer Reviews for Dollar Savings Direct, a division of Emigrant Bank (28)

I'll steer clear of Dollar Savings Direct and My Savings Direct until they guarantee users at both online divisions their best rates. Banks have the right to segment their customers yes, but these games with moving rates at one and not the other are silly and don't value us and force us to move money all around to stay competitive.

This is my third time around the block with Dollar and Emigrant. There is always a time to come and a time to go. It is an easy bank to work with and as long as the rate is competitive, it is fine. So, with the rate at 3.11% and most banks below 3%, this is a time to come.

Had bad experiences before but they kept the account open with a zero balance for years. I'll try again and hope for a better outcome.

I disagree strongly with some of the other reviews here. This is a known bank in New York with a functional website. Sure they play games with the different rates on different sites, but it is worth betting that they'd be too smart to lower the rate now. It is 3% now. You need to ignore the nonsense and take what comes at you. Just pay attention. Would you really rather be in Barclays @ 2 or Ally @ 2.1?
