Triple Option CD Opening Was Outstanding
Just opened a 12-month Triple Option CD at Heritage Bank -- what a breath of fresh air. Kudos to our representative Dani Strohl. Easy process, responsive reachable staff, and a CD structure offering unique hedging in a volatile rate environment. The 12-month rate is not the highest in the nation, but it offers the rare combination of add-on deposits, rate reset/term reset, and some limited withdrawal penalty provisions. Small bank -- but big positive experience opening a CD which fits well in our portfolio.
Too Many Term And Interest Changes For The Worse
Initially I loved this bank when I opened my account in 2020. They offered a high rate of interest on checking balances up to $25K with 10 POS and 1 ACH per month. However effective 1-1-22 they added the requirement of a minimum of $500 in POS per month. This change, on top of an interest rate that over time has become less attractive, caused me to switched my primary checking to another institution.
