2.17% 12-Month CD at FirsTier Bank in Colorado - Local Only

FirsTier Bank is offering a CD promotion with three competitive rates: 2.17% APY for 12 months, 2.55% APY for 24 months and 2.72% APY for 36 months. Minimum deposit is $1,000. These CD specials don't seem to be listed at the bank's website. These were advertised in today's (9/13/09) Denver Post. The ad is available online here.

It appears that a branch visit is required to open an account. Branches are located in the Colorado cities of Denver, Parker, Loveland, Louisville, Englewood and Westminster.

The bank's ratings for safety and soundness are a little weak: 2 stars (problematic) at BauerFinancial (based on 6/30/09 data) and 1 star (lowest) at Bankrate.com (based on 3/31/09 data). The bank has been a FDIC member since 2003 (FDIC Certificate # 57646).
