Finding the Best Bank Rates and Deals #7

Sunday, July 22, 2007 - 4:32 PM CT by Ken - Bank Deals Guy

This post is intended to be a place where readers can share info on the best bank deals or other useful banking news. Your help is much appreciated. Also, I'm including a list of websites that list the best CD and money market rates. This is intended to be a place where you can start your search for the best bank deals.

This is the seventh finding-the-best-deals post. The last one was getting too long.

In your comment, please include the link to the deal. If the deal is not on the bank's website, please include the source of the deal (i.e. a New York Times newspaper ad, a sign at a local bank, etc.)

I'll try my best to post on the deals, and I'll be sure to give you credit. If you want to remain anonymous, simply comment as an anonymous user or email me at bankdeals at gmail dot com.

One tip to see if the deal has already been posted is to use the search box at the top of this page or do a search of my archive page or the monthly archives which are located on the right sidebar.

Bank Deals at this Blog and Elsewhere

With new deals from banks and credit unions constantly popping up, no site has a complete list of all the best deals. Some think Bankrate.com has a complete list, but it fails to list many high rate CDs especially those with odd terms like an 11-month term. Also, it does a poor job at credit union certificates.

Below are lists of the best resources for different categories. I've included mine on top of each category (noted by Bank Deals:). If you find another good source of bank deals, please let me know.

Best Certificate of Deposit Rates

Best Money Market / Savings / Checking Account Rates

Bank Bonuses

Banking and Credit Union Resources



 
 
In order by popularity, then date posted.

This is a very concise list of "go to" places. Of course I still relie on Banking Guy's, Best Bank Deals. I do check 4-5 other sites each day, so as not to miss out on something special. Probably the middle of August I will withdraw most of the funds in FNBO and go to NavyFCU's 6% 10 mo CD.(unless you come up with a decent short term rate before that) Thanks Banking Guy.

Here is an article I have posted that gives people a summary of banking deals and the features of some of the most popular accounts these days.

You could add it somewhere on your list as a "guide" of sorts.
