Core Bank (NE/KS) Offers 23-Month CD Special
Nebraska-based Core Bank is currently offering two CD Specials – 23-month (3.00% APY) and 14-month (2.50% APY). While some banks with different market areas offer different rates for the same product (Texas Exchange Bank comes to mind), Core Bank offers the same rates, but with different minimum deposits. The opening deposit for either CD Special in Omaha is $10k, while the same CD Special in Kansas requires a minimum $25k deposit.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for either CD Special is six months interest on the amount being withdrawn.
Availability
Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, Core Bank’s original market area was the Omaha metropolitan area. In July 2017, the Bank opened its first branch outside of Nebraska in Overland Park (Kansas City metro area). While Kansas branch’s initial focus was on business lending, it has expanded to include personal banking.
According to CSR, any Nebraska or Kansas resident who can come into a branch location is welcome to open an account.
Opening a CD Special can be done at any of the five full-service Nebraska branches, all located in Omaha, or at the Overland Park, Kansas branch.
