New Millennium Bank (NJ/NY) Ups 12-Month CD
New Jersey-based New Millennium Bank recently raised the rate on its 12-month CD Special (2.95% APY). This special rate requires a minimum $10k deposit of new money.
The 12-month CD Special was added to the product line in September, earning 2.40% APY. The 55 bps increase at the end of November was its first rate change.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for the 12-month CD Special is only one month’s interest, but no partial withdrawals are allowed, only an early closure.
Thanks to DA reader, RichardFeder, who emailed me about New Millennium Bank’s newest offering.
