Any U.S citizen, regardless of where they live, is eligible for Advancial membership by joining the US Dog Agility Association (USDAA). Please note that this membership path has changed in the past. Consequently, it's advisable to first contact Advancial to confirm this eligibility option before applying. Membership in Advancial is also open to the following: 1) to those who live, work, worship, or attend school in the Louisiana Parishes of Acadia, Avoyelles, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, or Vermillion; 2) Employees of several SEGs (petroleum refining industry).

Opened another 5-year jumbo today. Transfered money into the savings account earlier and then did a simple transfer to fund the CD. Took no more than a couple of minutes. Advancial 5-year CD rates are substantially higher than anyone else.
The US dog agility association membership (TX0000) made it quick and easy to open. I did not like the photo uploading hassle in their application form, so would suggest interacting by email for that. The person who helped me through it was very prompt as well as patient. It is unusual to find a bank which has the best long term rates in the country yet is so good with customer service.
Tried to enroll online. System wouldn't accept my driver's license pdf or jpg, which have worked with every other bank. Took me repeated tries at scanning and uploading and being told the files weren't adequate. After an hour, I finally got files uploaded that the system would accept. Then, it told me I was locked out for having too many tries at registering. It said contact the bank to get it straightened out.
I called and was told nothing could be done except applying by surface mail and paper application, and that it would take 2 weeks for me to receive the application (and then how long to process after that?)
I have a CD for over $100K maturing today and was going to do an immediate transfer to Advancial, but now I lose about $500 in interest if I go the paper application route. Are you kidding me? The bank loses a large sum of money because there system is so cumbersome? And I lose 2 hours out of my life with this hassle.
Beware.
BTW, the people I talked to were nice. The bank system, awful.
