You can stop looking. Nothing close to that exists in this economy. Readily available are savings accounts with 0.5 annual percentage rates or less. And somewhere between dismal and "no way, no how" are a few precious organizations that are offering higher rates without a lot of restrictions, con- ditions or fees. • Wesleyan Investment Founda- tion. These days, it's almost impossi- ble to find any financial institution willing to pay 2.5 percent interest on a regular savings account. But that's exactly what Wesleyan Investment Foundation is offering publicly: rates that are much higher than the best rates offered by banks or credit unions in any kind of savings or money market account. WIF charges no fees and has no minimum balance requirement, and it takes only $25 to open an account. When an account holder needs to make a withdrawal, money transfers in one day, not three or four, which is common with online savings banks. Understand that WIF is not a bank. Accounts are not insured by the Fed- eral Deposit Insurance Corp. WIF is an Indiana-based nonprofit invest- ment corporation. Howev- er, it is good to note that WIF has a capital equity reserve of 17 per- cent, which is stronger than 99 percent of all banks and approximately dou- ble the amount required by the FDIC. Since its inception in 1959, WIF has honored every deposi- tor's request for a with- drawal. The decision for where you park your savings is one you must make for yourself, but know that this humble columnist has the greatest of trust and respect for WIF and recommends this fine orga- nization highly.

Offer- ing savings accounts with no mini- mum balance or maintenance requirement and no monthly fees, American Express Bank, fully FDIC- insured, currently pays a 1.5 annual percentage yield on savings accounts. That's the best rate available at this time for basic savings accounts in any FDIC-insured bank. Rates increase slightly for accounts with minimum balances of $5,000 or more. Additional information is available at www.Personal- S a v i n g s . A m e r i c a n E x - press.com. • Capital One online banking. If you have at least $2,500 to open a sav- ings account, you can get a 1.55 annual percentage yield at this online bank. Boost your balance to $15,000 or use a Capital One credit card at least once a month and you'll get a bonus that pushes that rate to 1.7 APY.

This, of course, will vary greatly from one credit union to another, but it may be worth your efforts to check what credit unions are available to you in your area. For example, Wings Financial Credit Union, in Apple Valley, Minn., is offering savings accounts at 1.76 APY to its members. You can e-mail Mary Hunt at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to P.O.
