Our Verdict
It’s fun watching the rates creep up; it took a while until we got to 2.50%, then it held there for a bit, until recently it crept up to 2.51% and now 2.52%. Ultimately, these tiny additions are insignificant, but we’ll usually put out a post when a new top-rate is reached. Vio was previously at 2.46% and now at 2.52%, so they seem to be intent on remaining competitive.
