Two banks are running promotions on savings accounts in anticipation of higher interest rates in the future.

First National Bank is offering 2.15% interest rates on their savings account, which compounds interest continuously.

First Federal Bank is offering 2.25% interest rates on their savings account, which compounds interest semi-annually.
