Best "high yield" savings account?

[Mako13]

Howdy!

So after finishing grad school and starting a post doc position I finally am starting to build up some money in the ol savings account. I'm at a not so impressive 6.5k right now but the number is growing by about a grand each month.  Right now it is sitting in a capital one account which isn't doing much interest wise, so I'm looking into options that will give me a bit more.  I'm wondering if anybody has any recommendations. Ally looks to have the best rate right now but they generally have terrible costumer service reviews. ING gets mentioned a bit around here, and the reviews seem a bit better.  I'm curious as to what savings accounts the mustachian community at large uses/recommends.

Thanks

My favorite right now is the Sallie Mae money market account paying 1.05%:

Not sure how the account interest rates differ, but ING was just bought by Capital One. I've had ING for about 2 years now and it was originally at 1.15% APY, and it's gone down to .747% since then.

Ally has always been very good about resolving issues and I think their customer service is better than most.  For some reason, I can't open new accounts without a telephone verification and I always have to call them to complete the transaction.  That's really been the only issue.  Sallie Mae has a better rate on their money market account right now, as previously noted.  Pentagon FCU offers 1.25 percent on a 1 year CD, minimum $1,000 and you have to qualify to join.  You may want to look at I-bonds as well.   They pay more than CD's and if you hold them for awhile, the penalty for cashing them in is fairly small.

Somebody else on here had mentioned kasasa.com and I liked it.  You put in your zip code to find and compare credit unions.  Generally there's not a residency requirement so I would suggest trying zip codes from different parts of the country.  It's a good way to find those high-interest checking accounts if you don't mind jumping through some hoops, like having your direct deposit go there or making a minimum number of debit card transactions, or whatever, depending on the bank.
