Minimum deposit is $500 ($100K for the Jumbo CDs). Since the date on the rate table was old, I contacted the bank yesterday and was told these rates are up-to-date but subject to change at any time.
A branch visit is required to open an account. However, I was told they do accept customers outside their local area. The bank is located in Fayetteville and Schulenburg, Texas. These towns are located between Austin, Houston and San Antonio. Before planning a long drive, make sure you call the bank to confirm availability. Policies at small banks can often change quickly.
