Partner Colorado Credit Union 12-Month Jumbo Almost A Rate Leader

In the past 48 hours, a variety of rate changes have had an impact on this week’s CD Rates Summary. Following the 30 bps rate decrease on Veridian Credit Union’s 12-month Jumbo CD Special, Partner Colorado Credit Union’s 12-month Jumbo CD (2.10% APY) is nearing the top of the nationally available one-year CD category. The minimum opening deposit is $100k, with no stated balance cap. The 12-month is also available as a Baby Jumbo CD (1.95% APY, $25k min) and Regular CD (1.90% APY, $500 min).

All three iterations of the 12-month are available as IRAs (Tradtional, Roth, CESA, SEP), earning the same APYs with the same funding requirements.

As stated in the fine print on the Savings Rates page, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows,

The penalty will be equal to 90 days of interest for certificate terms of
12 months or less and 180 days of interest for certificate terms over 12 months.

High-Interest Checking

The High-Interest Checking account currently earns 3.50% APY on qualifying balances up to $10k.

While the maximum potential annual earnings of $350 may not be reason enough to join Partner Colorado, if you’re considering opening a 12-month Jumbo CD, the High-Interest Checking account would be a profitable companion account.

The monthly qualifying requirements include,

• At least 20 signature-based debit card transactions ($5 minimum)
• Receive eStatements
• Use online or mobile banking, along with a valid e-mail address

The High-Interest Checking account has no minimum opening deposit requirement or monthly service fee. However, a $5 Non-Qualified Account Fee applies if the monthly requirements are not met. Paper statements are not available and there is no reimbursement of ATM fees. There is a limit of one High-Interest Checking account per Social Security number.
