Old Missouri Bank 11-Month CD Special Has Rate-Leading APY

For a limited time, Old Missouri Bank (OMB) is offering an 11-month CD Special with a very special 5.01% APY. The minimum opening deposit is $1k, with no stated balance cap. CSR made a point of stressing the limited-time availability, although no set end-date has been announced; another case of it’s available until it’s not.

FYI – In addition to the 11-month CD Special, OMB has an 11-month No Penalty CD Special earning 2.35% APY. At first glance, I thought the 5.01% APY 11-month was the no-penalty CD because OMB is using the same promotional page for both, with just one or two different details. The 11-month No Penalty CD offers a penalty-free early closure, but the 2.35% APY isn’t that competitive.

Funding and Other Particulars

The following information is from a conversation with CSR.

• Funding – ACH, wire ($15 fee), check, or internal transfer.
• Interest – Compounded/credited quarterly and can be deposited into an OMB savings/checking account.
• Maturing Funds – Wire ($20 fee), cashier’s check or internal transfer to an OMB savings/checking account.
• Early Withdrawal Penalty – 180 days, with partial withdrawals allowed.
• Grace Period – 10 calendar days before automatic renewal as a 12-month CD.

Availability and Account Opening

Headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, OMB’s market area is southwest Missouri. In the past, OMB offered Kasasa brand products in 15 states via an online application, but OMB has changed direction, no longer accepting customers beyond southwest Missouri or having any kind of online application.

Opening an 11-month CD Special can be done at any of eight full-service Missouri branches located in Ash Grove, Buffalo, Carthage, Mount Vernon, Springfield (3), and Walnut Grove.

CSR stated it is possible to have all documents required to open a CD Special sent by and returned by email, so no trip to a branch would be necessary.

Unlimited beneficiaries can be designated, with percentages available. Social Security numbers for beneficiaries are “preferred by not required.”

OMB’s credit check is a soft pull through Chex Systems.
