Savings Account Special At TCF Bank In Colorado

I noticed the following special being advertised by TCF Bank in the 5/13/2012 edition of the Denver Post. The ad is available online here.

The rates aren't great, but if you're in Colorado and prefer to bank local, this special is something to consider. The ad lists no guarantee about how long the rate will last. The rate is likely to fall substantially when the promotion period ends. Below are the rate tiers listed in the offer's small print:

• 1.00% APY $50,000+
• 0.40% APY $25,000 - $49,999
• 0.25% APY $10,000 - $24,999
• 0.10% APY  $2,500 -  $9,999
• 0.03% APY          0 -  $2,499

Rates are subject to change. Minimum balance to open a TCF Super Savings account is $50. A TCF Checking account is required to qualify for this rate. For new money to TCF only.

The ad lists the following Colorado locations: Denver, Aurora, Westminster, Northglenn, Thornton Arvada, Lakewood, Edgewater, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Lafayette, Broomfield, Lone Tree, Parker, Colorado Springs
