MidWestOne Bank Offers Relationship Bump CDs
Iowa-based MidWestOne Bank has introduced a 15-month Relationship Bump CD Special, with two different interest rates: 1.50% APY for balances of $10k+ and 1.15% APY for balances below $10k.
The minimum opening deposit is $1k, with no maximum balance cap.
As stated on MidWestOne Bank’s Deposit Rates page, qualifying for the Relationship Bump APY (0.35% for balances of $10k+ and 0.25% for balances of <$10k) is quite simple:
To Qualify for the Relationship Bump: Have, or Open, a Personal Checking Account
That's it - no minimum number of debit transactions, no direct deposit requirements, and no bill payments requirements. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
43-Month Relationship Bump CD Special
MidWestOne Bank also raised the rate on its 43-Month Relationship Bump CD Special at the beginning of the year. Like the 15-month Relationship Bump CD Special, there are two interest rates based on balances of $10k+ (2.00% APY) and <$10k (1.55% APY).
