    Go to your local bank, they will be able to advice you on which is the best account for you to open

    To be honest with you by not investing it, your $1000 is losing value. Especially in today’s economy it’s smart to at least put it into a savings account. That way you gain some sort of interest, can add money to it at anytime, and can also take out money. Me personally if I had that laying around I would try to find a high yield savings account and put 10% of each paycheck into it until it got to somewhere I felt I could get good returns by investing in either stocks or a mutual fund.

    If you aren’t planning on touching it at all, there are several internet banks with very high interest rates. Also, most brick and mortar banks have risk-free CDs, though $1000 may not be enough.
    If you do go the internet route, make sure the account is FDIC insured.

    I subscribe to ‘WHICH’ magazine here in the, as I find it invaluable for the kind of information you are searching for.
    If you go to their website and you are not a member. You can pay fee (although lots of advice is).
    Have a look online or better still, get hold of one of your Sunday newspapers. They usually have all the financial advice and info.

    ING Direct is a pretty neat and solid online bank that gives 3% interest on your money. Local banks won’t come close to touching that. That, or CDs at your local bank, but you can’t touch the money in a CD unless you’re willing to pay penalties for doing so.
