Bank of the Ozarks Offers 13-Month CD Special
Bank of the Ozarks is advertising a limited-time offer 13-month CD Special (1.30% APY) in the Dallas Morning News. The minimum opening deposit is $1k of new money, with no stated balance cap. According CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty is six months interest.
This 13-month CD Special is only available at the nine Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex branch locations and does not appear on Bank of the Ozark’s website. CSR was not able to give me a definite end-date for this limited-time special, but he pointed out that previous Bank of the Ozark limited-time specials have lasted a couple months.
Many thanks to DA reader, jtkirk, for his Forum post about this CD Special.
