I didn't actually see any accounts there with rates better than CDs. The highest savings rate I've seen recently is a 3.75%. Sam,

Checking accounts are now paying interest, almost as high as Certificates of Deposits in some cases. Schwab, Etrade and ING have some pretty good offers. You can find more at www.topcheckingaccounts.com The only downside to these accounts, is that none of these banks/brokerages have local or nationwide branches. Once it's open though you can setup direct deposit and start earning interest and have cash readily available. -Sam G. The landscape has really changed here.

Also, many of the links I tried for opening accounts and verifying account details, at the moment don't appear to be working. I'll keep you posted.
