United Western Bank is offering a special 22-month CD with a 2.22% APY. Minimum deposit is $500. This special doesn't appear to be listed at the bank's website. It was advertised in a Colorado newspaper today (2/14/2010). The ad is available online here. The small print says to refer to offer code VP0110CD.
It appears that a branch visit is required. Branches are located in the Colorado cities of Denver, Boulder, Cherry Creek, Hampden, Fort Collins, Centennial, Longmont and Loveland.
The bank's ratings for safety and soundness are a little weak: 3 stars (adequate) at BauerFinancial and 2 stars (below peer group) at Bankrate.com. Both ratings are based on 9/30/09 financial data. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1962 (FDIC Certificate # 31293).
