From the website it looks like the bank is looking for local customers. Any infor on whether you have to come in to a branch to open it?

I received some more info about this special from the bank. The special is still available but it's unknown how long it will last.

The bank representative stated that they can open this CD and the required checking or money market accounts by mail no matter where in the US you live.

I called to find out if they do a "hard" credit pull, and they DO.

CSR now states that you must be a Georgia resident to open CD. I called twice to confirm this.

Thanks for the update. Small banks often seem to change this out-of-state policy if a CD becomes too popular.

Per telephone call to bank this afternoon, this offer expired Tuesday afternoon.
