3.75% 6-Month CD & 4.15% 18-Month CD at San Antonio FCU

Update 1/09/09: The CD rates have fallen. Please refer to the credit union's website for the latest rates.

San Antonio Federal Credit Union (SACU) has some competitive certificate rates. These include a 3.75% APY 6-month certificate with a minimum deposit of $10,000 and a 4.15% APY 18-month certificate with a minimum of $1,000. The 6-month certificate has a yield of 3.70% APY for a $1,000 minimum and a yield of 3.80% APY for a $90,000 minimum. These are also available as an IRA certificate. These rates are listed at the credit union's rate table as of 1/06/09.

The credit union is still offering a high yield reward checking account, but the yield has fallen from 6.01% to 4.00% APY. I have more info on this reward checking account in this September post.
