These include a 2.75% APY 2-year CD, a 3.00% APY 3-year CD and a 3.50% APY 5-year CD. Minimum deposit is $1,000. These are also available as IRA certificates. These rates are listed in the credit union's rates page as of 9/18/09.

Sorry, I think I helped kill the 9 month 3%, They stopped offering right after I opened and since they are a small CU, $100 Million in assets, I probably helped them reach the mark on the promo. I did open the 24 Month 2.75% this week. Was told it's only 90 days loss of interest if you close early, Not bad for a 2 year CD

Glad at least one Bank Deals reader was able to get this deal before it ended. A 90-day early withdrawal penalty is very good for a 2-year CD. 180-day seems to be the most common. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for the information you have a great site. This is a good CU to do business with-very happy with 2 year cd

Just opened another CD, 36 month 3%.Was surprised when I saw on the paperwork that early withdrawal penalty is only 90 days for a 3 year CD

That is a great deal. If you break the CD in 1-year, it'll be like a 2.25% 1yr CD.
