2.50% 25-Month CD Continues at First Financial Bank in OH, IN & Other States - Local Only

Post a Comment
POSTED ON BY

First Financial Bank continues to offer a special 25-month CD with a 2.50% APY. Minimum deposit is $10,000, and new money is required. This special is not listed at the bank's website. I just called the bank to confirm the rate. According to the CSR, this special is available at all branches. The CSR didn't know how much longer it would last, but they usually update rates on Tuesdays.

A branch visit is required to open an account. Most of the branches are located in Ohio and Indiana. The FDIC also shows branches in several other states including California and Arizona. These are the branches that First Financial acquired when Irwin Union Bank failed in September.

First Financial Bank's ratings for safety and soundness are a little above average: 4 stars (excellent) at BauerFinancial (based on 9/30/09 data) and 3 stars (performing) at Bankrate.com (based on 6/30/09 data). The bank has been a FDIC member since 1934 (FDIC Certificate # 6600).

If you click on the FDIC link at the bottom of the post, it'll take you to the FDIC page. At this page, click on "Current List of Offices". The FDIC lists two in CA: one in Costa Mesa and one in Sacramento. I think these are the old Irwin Union branches.

You expected it to still be available six years later?

Update 9/18/09: Irwin Union Banks have been closed by regulators. Refer to this FDIC press release for more details.

Irwin Union Bank has started a new CD promotion called Win-Win CD. You receive a competitive rate for a 13-month term and receive 1% cash back (up to $250) instantly. The catch is that it requires that you have a new or existing checking account, and then you have to open or maintain 4 additional products or services. The promo page doesn't provide any details about what services qualify, so I called...

The promotion used to have other account options including personal checking and money market accounts. But this morning they removed these as eligible accounts. Now, the CD is the only personal account that's eligible for the bonus.

When I called today, I was told that people in any state can apply online for this personal CD....
