Promotional CD

Posted by: |

I got one of their promo CDs when I had some unrelated money in a savings account at another bank. I got barely over 5% when those highs started backing off in Sept. It was fairly easy to set it up no untoward events have taken place with them. They have an old school app which functions well. I hope it won’t be a problem getting my funds transferred when the CD matures.
