E-Trade has upped the APY on their Complete Savings Account to 3.30%, putting it in the top 5 of online savings accounts.

The move follows WTDirect and HSBC's upward revision of their online savings accounts (to 3.26% and 3.50% APY, respectively).

E-Trade's account has a $1 minimum to open and no minimum to avoid fees.

The rate was previously 3.15%.

WTDirect's Savings Account has fallen from a 3.31% APY to a 3.16% APY.

Despite the drop, they're still in the top 10 of online savings accounts, according to Bankrate.

While rate drops have been the norm since the Fed started cutting interest rates, E-Trade upped their online savings account APY last week. Looks like the trend may not continue.

Minimum balance to get into WTDirect is $10,000, so it's not for savers starting out. But once you open it, there's no minimum to avoid fees.

Bucking the recent trend of falling APYs, E-Trade has upped the interest on their Complete Savings Account to 3.15%.

That puts them in the top 5 of online savings account rates, behind WTDirect, iGobanking and FNBO Direct.

E-Trade's account was at a 3.01% APY previously.

Ever since the market started slowing down, it's been rate drops consistently.

Hopefully E-Trade's move will be followed by other banks. We'll be on the lookout.
