5.80% 11-Month CD at a Colorado CU (Bellco)

Oct 23, 2006 - 9:34 AM by Ken Tumin

Bellco Credit Union is offering an 11-month certificate of deposit with a rate of 5.80% APY. It requires a minimum of $50K. A lower rate is available for smaller deposits. This special is available as either a regular or IRA CD.

The field of membership includes those who are members of Consumers United Association. Any Colorado resident is eligible to join this association with a $5 fee. In addition, there's a long list of select employee groups in which you can qualify. See site for details. There's a one-time $5 membership fee and a $25 minimum deposit for membership into the credit union.

Branches are located in the Denver area. However, it appears you can open accounts online so this might be a good credit union for anyone in Colorado.

The credit union is NCUA insured. It has $1.58 billion in assets and over 153k members.

ENT Federal Credit Union, which has branches in several cities in Colorado, also has a nice CD special. It's offering a 6% APY 13-month CD (see post).

Should I worry if a credit union is not federally insured?

ASI insured. Does anyone know what reason there may be to not be FDIC insured?

Credit unions are insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA). The NCUA performs the same function for credit unions that the FDIC does for banks.
