Review Of A CD Which Has One Of The Highest Rates In The Nation

In this May post I reviewed Security Services FCU and its very competitive CD rates. The highest is its 7-year CD which has a 3.50% APY for a $100K minimum. Allan Roth just wrote about his experience with this credit union and why he thinks this CD is such a good deal.

Looking at SSFCU's latest membership page, it appears they have made it more difficult to join if you're not in Texas or Colorado. They have some associations that people can join to qualify for credit union membership. However, they also require that the association members live in specific counties.
