what are you looking for? and about how much money? thos most ive seen is a money market plus for 10k in new money brought in. earns 1%

 

this site advertises 1.05% but needs 25k deposit and cant dip below that or they drop your rate to 0.90

I have an Ally Bank account too, it's where I've stashed my emergency fund. It's great! The ease of setup and the customer service are top notch.
