5.75% 6-Month CD at a New York Bank (Trustco)

Trustco Bank is advertising a 5.75% APY 6-month certificate of deposit. The minimum is $500. It requires money new to the bank. This special is not listed at the bank's website. It was advertised in the November 19th Times Union newspaper. The ad is available online here. The bank's toll-free number is 800-670-3110.

Trustco Bank has branches in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Florida. I've only seen this CD advertised in this Albany, New York newspaper so it might not be available at all branches.

The bank is FDIC insured. It has a safe and sound rating of 4 out of 5 stars (sound) at Bankrate.com.
