Deal Summary: CDs – 3-Year (2.55% APY), 5-Year (2.80 APY), 7-Year (3.00% APY), 10-Year (3.25% APY), $500 min/$2m max deposit, new money, available through March 20, 2018.

This is the third time in the past year that The First National Bank of Long Island (FNBLI) has offered limited-time competitive rates on long-term CDs. These CDs require new money and can be opened with a minimum deposit of $500, with a balance cap of $2m. This limited time offer expires on March 20, 2018.

Since I last wrote about these long-term CDs in November, the 5-year has added 40 bps, with the 7-year and 10-year each adding 25 bps.

According to the fine print on the promotion page,

Does not require the opening of a checking account.

According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalties are fairly substantial:

    18 months interest – 3 and 5-year CDs

    24 months interest – 7-year CD

    36 months interest – 10-year CD

Thanks to DA reader, thomasirrera, for his Forum post about this limited-time offer.

The First National Bank of Glen Head was founded in 1927 so Long Island’s North Shore business owners and farmers wouldn’t have to travel to New York City to do their banking. The 60-mile roundtrip to NYC could take an entire day, making a simple banking transaction or applying for a loan an ordeal. Local residents raised $50k in capital and the Bank’s doors opened for business on October 1, 1927. The First National Bank of Long Island re-brand occurred in 1978 as the Bank’s footprint expanded. Currently the 26th largest bank headquartered in New York State, FNBLI has assets in excess of $3.7 billion and more than 44,200 customer accounts.
