Abound Credit Union in Kentucky (formerly known as Fort Knox Credit Union) is offering a CD special at 37 months for 1.20% APY. $500 minimum to open. https://www.aboundcu.com/Learn/Understanding-Made-Easy/Rates You will see the Certificate Rate Specials about half way down the page. Don't forget to look at the fine print under the #4 footprint at the bottom of the page -- for one thing, you can make an early withdrawal only with the permission of the credit union -- in other words, you do not have a right to do it, but you might be allowed to, with penalty fee. Their way to join is a bit vague (to my reading), but no obvious way for just anyone to join. But, on the application, they provide that list, and add one more: "Other -- credit union will assist." That might mean they have a quiet way that can provide a method for you to join, as I have found at a couple other credit unions over the years. So, call an

Does Not Offer ACH

Posted by: |

Does not offer ACH - you must wire in money and they charge $3 for incoming wires.  Outgoing wires are $12.  Reduces their APY somewhat.  Not great service in my opinion.

Identity Protection Offered By Credit Union

Posted by: |

Recently I was informed by credit union provider of identity protection my coverage had been cancelled. When I ask the representative with Identity Secure who authorized the cancellation I was told to contact the financial institution where I purchased the service. I contacted the credit union and spoke to a representative regarding the cancellation without my authorization and why the fee for service was still being deducted from my account. The representative would not provide the information I requested. I commend the credit union for refunding the fees, however I believe there is a communication problem between the credit union and identity protection provider.
