Hi

I have around $10K saved up for emergency expenses, currently in ING earning around 3.75%. I would like to move it to something which is more attractive,but, easily available in case of an emergency.


I checked SBI and ICICI bank, which gives around 4.5% interest.

Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated.

SBI super savers account is good. It is chequable.

I will not bet not ICICI Bank because of their poor customer service.

You can try PC Financial... gives 4.25%.... The difference in int. earned is $25 compared to SBI per year... but can be accessed comparitively easily. They are some way connected to CIBC.

PC Financial offers 4.1% for deposits more than $1000. CIBC owns PC Financial along with Loblaws I believe.
