Special 2-Year CD & Money Market Rates at Texas Security Bank in Dallas

Mar 21, 2011 - 7:44 AM by Ken Tumin

Texas Security Bank

Texas Security Bank has two good deposit deals. The first is a CD special with a 2.00% APY for a term of 2 years. Minimum deposit is $1,000. The second one is a money market special with a 1.25% APY guaranteed for up to 180 days. The 180-day guarantee requires opening an individual or business checking account in the first 90 days. Without the checking, the guaranteed period is 90 days. Minimum balance is $2,500. These specials are listed in the bank's specials page as of 3/21/2011.

More details about the money market account are listed in the bank's account comparison page. The money market account requires a daily collected balance of $2,500 to avoid a $15/month fee. The account offers limited check writing with free checks. ATMs are free at Allpoint and Intercept network ATMs. One downside is that the money market standard rates are low. Currently, the rate for balances from $25K to under $100K is only 0.55%.

For nationally available CDs, the best 2-year CD rate is currently 1.77% APY at Self-Help Credit Union. For a bank, the best 2-year CD rate is 1.65% APY at CNB Bank Direct, but this requires a $25K minimum deposit.
