6.50% 12-Month CD at a Washington DC Credit Union (GPO FCU).

GPO FCU will be offering a 6.50% APY 12-month share certificate for one day only on October 25, 2006. The minimum deposit is $1,000, and it requires new money.

Unfortunately, it has a very narrow field of membership that's based on select employee groups which includes the US Government Printing Office (GPO) and a dozen other employers. See site for details. The credit union's main office is located in Washington DC.

GPO FCU is NCUA insured. It has $25 million in assets and 3,506 members.
