Homeowners Insurance Companies RankedAre you happy with the company that provides your home insurance? If not, see how nearly 13,000 people rated their insurance company on price, billing, claims and policy offerings. For the seventh year in a row, Amica Mutual has ranked number one.Want a Loan? Depends on Your eBay Reputation!It is not here yet, but in the next few years, credit grantors may be checking your reputation for being a responsible person, and not just your creditworthiness. The thought is that bad people are bad in many aspects of their life, and that measures of responsibility and reputation will broaden a lender's picture of you.Why Online Bank Deposits and Withdrawals are So Slow If you have an online bank account (and you should because they pay higher rates than most brick and mortar banks) you may have noticed that electronic transfers of your money to/from your regular checking account and your online bank account take two to four days.

If you are tired of the puny interest paid by your local bank, consider an online savings account at Dollar Savings Direct where they are paying an incredible (for these times) 4% interest. This is a new division of the 150 year old Emigrant Saving Bank in New York. The twist on this new bank is that they require a minimum balance of $1000. But, they charge no fees, and they promise to be "America's Highest Rate" for similar accounts. To open an account, you transfer money from your brick and mortar checking account electronically to them (or you can send a check). Withdrawals go back electronically to your local bank. ++
