What is the average bank savings interest rates in the United States?


<strong>United States best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by AJ</i><br/>SOmething like 0.1%/year. There are some savings accounts that give you up to 2%, but that's about as much as you can hope for.

It actually may make sense to borrow money in the United States at 3% and put it in a savings account elsewhere and keep the difference.</p>
