Competitive Long-Term CD Rates At Chevron FCU In CA, TX, LA & MS

The CD rates are not that great, but they're competitive especially for where they have branches in Northern California. Some of Chevron FCU's best CD rates as of 11/19/2010 include:

• 2.50% APY 5-year CD, min $100K
• 1.95% APY 3-year CD, min $100K
• 1.30% APY 1-year CD, min $100K

It looks like they've joined the list of easy-membership credit unions. I just noticed the following in their membership page:

If you do not fall within our regular field of membership, you can join one of our partner non-profit associations to become eligible for Credit Union membership.

Some of the California cities with branches include:

• San Francisco
• San Ramon
• Richmond
• El Segundo
• Concord
• Brea

There are also branches in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Note, many of the branches are located in facilities with restricted public access.
