Saint Casimir's Savings Bank

Update 10/7/2011: The 8-year CD rate has fallen.

Finding a 3 percent CD these days is especially hard, and as we learned in the last week, it often doesn't last long when we find one. I hope this one lasts for a while. It's at Saint Casimir's Savings Bank in Baltimore, Maryland. The bank is offering a 3.00% APY 8-year CD. This is listed at the bank's rates page as of 10/05/2011.

It's a small community bank so it appears to be a local deal. It has 4 branches in Baltimore.

The bank has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 5 stars (out of 5) with a Texas Ratio of 0.55% (excellent) based on June 2011 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Saint Casimir's Savings Bank for more details. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1985 (FDIC Certificate # 32327).

How These CD Rates Compare

The highest rate for a nationally available 7-year CD is 2.75% APY at Pentagon Federal Credit Union and the highest rate for a 10-year CD is 2.80% APY at Apple FCU.

There is something fishy going on here.  As soon as Ken posts about a good CD rate, the bank or CU drops it like a rock.  The rate on this bank's 96-month is now sub-2%.  Ken, please report on this phenomenon.  Do you think it is due to the sheer numbers of your readers, just a coincidence, or both?   If the bank or CU made a business decision to attract deposits with a competitive rate, why would some inquiries or account openings attributable to this blog totally derail it?  It's almost like we called their attn. to a good rate, and they then promptly "corrected it."  I do not understand.   The end result is, however, that good rates publicized by this blog vaporize really quickly.  A terribe irony in this environment.  Ken, this would make a great thing for you to write about.  Sadly, you have many recent examples to cite.

It would not surprise me if the banks have a service which follows this blog and alerts them if they appear on it...a sure sign that their rates are "too high" :(
