7.00% 12-Month CD at a Texas CU - DATCU ($2.5K max)
Post a Comment
DATCU is offering a promotional 7.00% APY 1-year certificate of deposit. The minimum is $1K and the maximum allowed deposit is $2.5K. It requires a checking account along with 20 transactions per month. One CD allowed per member. Offer is good through October 7, 2006.
The $2.5K maximum deposit limit is low but you could open one for each person in your family. Sometimes these CD specials restrict the CD to one per household. If you could open two, that $5K at 7% over 12 months would result in about $63 over what you could get from a top national 1-year CD. Like many of these promotional CDs, it requires a checking account, so you could consider this like a checking account bonus. The 20 transactions per month is a hassle but you could set up automatic transfers to and from another checking account.
DATCU's field of membership includes all those who live or work in the Texas counties of Denton, Cooke, Wise, Montague, or Clay. There are also many businesses and organizations through which you may qualify for membership. See site for details.
The credit union has seven branches just north of the Dallas and Fort Worth area.
DATCU is NCUA insured. It has $379 million in assets and almost 54,000 members.
