132nd Anniversary 13-month CD, Central National Bank (KS/NE)
Kansas-based Central National Bank (CNB) is celebrating its 132nd anniversary with a 13-month CD Special (1.32% APY). The minimum opening deposit is $5k, with no stated balance cap, although the fine print on the Deposit Rates page states,
CDs over $500,000 require prior approval from CNB President, CFO, or SVP - Retail Banking.
An active checking account is required to earn the stated APY; without an active checking account the 13-month CD Special’s APY drops to 1.07% APY. CNB has three checking accounts (Central Premium, Central Value, and Central Basic), all of which qualify for the 0.25% premium.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty is six months interest.

If you’re interested in history, CNB has a great “About Us”page on its website, including a variety of photos. My favorite is from 1975 showing the new IBM computer the Bank had purchased, enabling “all processing to be done ‘in-house’.” The computer is about the size of a desk.
