Alliance Credit Union is offering a competitive 5-year CD and IRA CD rate. It has a 2.16% APY with a minimum deposit of $1,000. The shorter term CDs are not quite as competitive.

In addition to these regular CDs, the credit union has an interesting type of CDs that it calls Income Now CD.

It may look like an annuity, it's just a CD bank account. According to the credit union, "this is not an insurance product."

The credit union's Income Now CDs do have some competitive rates. The terms range from 3 years to 20 years. Some of the noteworthy rates include 2.00% for 3 years, 2.20% for 5 years and 2.45% for 10 years. Minimum deposit is $5,000.
