Overview

EQ Bank's notice savings account pays more than a regular savings account in return for a little planning: you give 10 or 30 days' notice before taking money out, and the longer notice earns the higher rate. There are no monthly fees. A good home for money you won't need in a hurry, like savings for next year's tax bill.
