London-based Barclays offers a limited selection of online banking products in the U.S., including a savings account. The rate on the bank’s Online Savings account is competitive, and there is no minimum balance required to open the account or earn the annual percentage yield (APY).

Although Barclays’ savings account pays a competitive APY, keen shoppers can find even higher savings rates elsewhere.
