Founded in 2006 as a division of Wilmington Trust FSB, have been at the forefront of the online banking space since that time.

It’s one of the measures they’ve taken to boost customer confidence and be proactive in the fight against online fraud.
They are known for their high interest savings accounts, and they are consistently in the top 5% of interest rates for U.S. banks. That’s great, because my off line bank pays about 40% less than this right now. Some of their other features include:
As of June 19th WTDirect is paying a robust, 3.26% on savings accounts, so if you’re looking for an on-line bank, and if you’re not getting this kind of interest rate, you should be, check them out here.
