All banks immediately raised their prime lending rates on the Fed rate hike, however, they left their savings rates the same.....screw the customer :ThmbDown:

Yeah...like we were all lining up to earn a 0.2% taxable return on our savings accounts. :faint: Money left in the bank or in money markets is for liquidity and preservation of principal----not for real investment. Heard of stocks,.. real estate,... muni bonds? The banks are convenient punching bag to complain about though....
