6.00% 6-Month CD at a South Carolina Bank

First Reliance Bank is offering two CD specials as part of its Spirit of 76 Presidents' Day sale. The first is a 7.00% APY 12-month IRA CD and the second is a 6.00% APY 6-month regular CD. The minimum deposit is $500 and there's a maximum deposit limit of $50K per household. These promotional certificates are not listed at the bank's website, but were advertised in the February 25, 2006 edition of The State newspaper. The ad is available online here.

The promotion may be withdrawn without notice and is limited to residents within the bank's defined market area. The bank has four branches in the South Carolina cities of Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Florence and Lexington.

On a side note, one nice perk that I noticed on the bank's home page was a free coin counter that's free for everyone.
