6.35% 7-Month CD at a Tennessee CU (Eastman).

Eastman Credit Union is offering a CD with an APY of between 6.00% and 6.35%. The term is 7 months and the minimum deposit is $2.5K. A 6.35% APY requires a new or existing Beyond Free Checking Account with direct deposit or automatic debit and application online.

This certificate special is listed both at the credit union's website and in the Knoxville News Sentinel. The ad is available online here, and according to the ad the special ends Tuesday, September 12th. Also, it states that you must live, work, worship, attend school, or own/operate a business in Sevier County to qualify. Since the special is listed on the website, it seems reasonable to assume that anyone in their field of membership would qualify. The FOM includes those who live, work or attend school in several other counties in the northeast part of Tennessee. Counties in southwest Virginia and Harrison and Gregg Counties in Texas are also included. There's also a long list of Select Employer Groups.

Branches are located in Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, South Carolina and Arkansas.

The credit union is NCUA insured. It's a large credit union with $1.6 billion in assets and over 81K members.
