Verity Credit Union
Verity Credit Union is offering a 6-month certificate special with a 2.00% APY. Minimum deposit is $1,000. It's scheduled to end on November 13, 2009. This special is listed in this credit union page as of 11/10/2009.

Membership is open to anyone who lives, works or worships in Washington State. Please refer to their membership page for more details. Membership requires a $5 fee and a minimum deposit of $5 in the share savings account. However, the savings account requires a minimum balance of $200 to avoid a quarterly service fee.

Branches are located in Seattle, Auburn and Lynnwood.

The credit union's ratings for safety and soundness are a little weak: 2 stars (below peer group) at Bankrate.com and 3 stars (adequate) at BauerFinancial. Both ratings are based on 6/30/09 financial data. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 68517).

Thanks to the reader who emailed me info on this special.

Well this is a good deal. Membership offer is good and requires $200 minimum balance. However, it is only for Washington state locals only.

FYI, verity has a new member referral bonus (both the new member & referrer get $25). If you're planning to open an account it's worth finding someone who already banks there.

Also, when I opened the account the rep said they don't enforce the $200 min savings account to avoid fees, and I found this to be true. Note: this might only be if you have high-interest checking, I'm not sure.
