ED dropped from a 3 star to a 2 star rating, which is "below industry average" in their financial standing. Of course they are FDIC insured, but it makes you wonder a little. I've also seen talk on other websites that customers are linking their spam email to ED.

The past few days I've been looking at the pros and cons of all my banking accounts. Something struck me that I've never really noticed before. My wife and I both have our payroll directly depostited into our Capital One Money Market accout. Since Capital One doesn't offer e-statements, we get our statement in the mail each month. The bad thing is the transaction shows our employer's name AND both of our social security numbers. Along with other info on the statement, someone could have a pretty good start at identity theft if they got ahold of it. I've now decided that I will only do payroll direct deposit if I have e-statements with my bank (such as ING, Emigrant Direct, etc.). Not sure if I'm being paranoid, but I think it's something to consider.

I've had both the Money Market and Savings account with Capital One for over a year and have been very happy with them. Only bad thing is no sign up bonus that I'm aware of.
