eloan loan savings APY e-loan high yield

Quick Summary

$5,000 initial deposit

Minimum Balance
Quoting directly from their T&Cs:
"You will be expected to maintain a balance of at least $500.00 in your Savings Account. If your balance is less than $500.00 for ninety (90) calendar days or more during any 12-month period, your Account may be closed."

"For security purposes, we will not allow any withdrawals from your E-LOAN account to be made by an outside institution."
* This includes pulls initiated from your linked account. All transfers must be made through E-LOAN.

Interest Rates (APY)
09/26/06 - 5.25% (< $5,000 balance), 5.50% (>= $5,000 balance)
09/28/06 - 5.50% on any balance ($5k initial deposit still holds)
12/06/06 - 5.38% on any balance
01/16/07 - 5.25% on any balance
09/20/07 - 5.00% on any balance
10/02/07 - 4.75%

Hard Inquiry?
No hard inquiry after new account opening

Withdraw limits
Savings account withdrawals are limited to six per calendar month. However, you are free to make unlimited deposits into your online account from your linked account.

ACH Speed
Money credited to the account the same day it's debited from the external account for the initial account opening deposit.

Deposits by ACH?
Although you can only withdraw money via the linked account, you can make deposits into ELOAN via ACH through a non-linked account.
The routing number is 111925359. You will notice when you login to your ELOAN account, that the first 6 digits of your account number are hidden with X's.
You can find your full account number by going to "View Statements" - you should see your account number under the column labeled "Account Number"

Yodlee Users
Yes, E-LOAN is available on Yodlee (v. 6?), but not through BoA (v. 5?)

Quicken / MS Money Transaction Downloading
No (they say it's a "long term goal").

Terms and Conditions
Click here for the complete terms and conditions of this account.

Statements and Interest
Statements are issued at the end of any month in which there is account actitivity. If there is no activity other than interest, statements are issued quarterly. Interest is credited on the monthly anniversary of your account opening. For example, if you opened the account on the 14th, interest will be credited on the 14th of every month. The interest date and the statement date are not the same. So, your first statement may not show any interest having been credited (because it was issued before the first interest payment date).

HELP!!! My deposit shows up as a debit!!!
In the Account History section, all transactions -- both deposits and withdrawals -- show up as a debit at first with a balance of 0.00. One or two business days later, it changes to a credit (if applicable) and the correct balance shows up. We don't know why, it just happens.

HELP!!! They are withholding part of my interest payment.
On your account application, you probably checked the box that said "I am subject to backup withholding." If so, taxes will be withheld from your interest payments. The bank will issue a Form 1099-INT at the beginning of next year showing the withholding. You may claim a credit for the amount withheld when you file your federal Form 1040.

HELP!!! It says my account balance is $0.00
In the Transaction History portion of your Account Details page, when a new transaction is entered, the Balance column next to the new transaction always says $0.00. Don't panic. The 0.00 will be replaced by your actual account balance in one or two business days. The Account Balance at the top of the page and on the summary page should be correct. "
