Fidelity Bank of Florida is offering a special 5-year CD with a 4.00% APY. Minimum deposit is $10,000 and $4,000 for an IRA CD. The bank also has competitive rates on its NOW Checking and tiered money market account. The money market account has rates up to 2.00% APY for a $100K balance. These rates are listed at the bank's rates page as of 5/19/09.
It appears that a branch visit is required to open an account. Branches are located in the Central Florida cities of Merritt Island, Longwood and Port Richey.
The bank's financial ratings for safety and soundness are a little weak: 2 stars (below peer group) at Bankrate.com and 3 stars (adequate) at BauerFinancial. Both are based on 12/31/08 data. The bank has been FDIC insured since 1990 (FDIC Certificate # 33198).

For those in Florida near Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville, Urban Trust Bank continues to offer the best long-term CD rates in the nation as of 5/19/09 with a 4.50% APY 60-month CD and a 4.00% APY 39-month CD (see post).

RBC Bank President Gordon Nixon - Salary $11.73 Million
$100,000 - MISTAKE (FISHERMEN'S LOAN)
I'm a commercial fisherman fighting the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC Bank) over a $100,000 loan mistake. I lost my home, fishing vessel and equipment. Help me fight this corporate bully by closing your RBC Bank account.
There was no monthly interest payment date or amount of interest payable per month on my loan agreement. Date of first installment payment (Principal + interest) is approximately 1 year from the signing of my contract.
Demand loan agreements signed by other fishermen around the same time disclosed monthly interest payment dates and interest amounts payable per month.The lending policy for fishermen did change at RBC from one payment (principal + interest) per year for fishing loans to principal paid yearly with interest paid monthly. This lending practice was in place when I approached RBC.
Only problem is the loans officer was a replacement who wasn't familiar with these type of loans. She never informed me verbally or in writing about this new criteria.
