RCB Bank (OK/KS) Offers 60-Month CD
As of this morning, there are more than 4,000 5-year CDs offered by banks and credit unions throughout the country. Oklahoma-based RCB Bank has one of the two that currently earn 3.00% APY. RCB Bank’s 60-month CD can be opened with a $1k minimum deposit and there is no stated balance cap.
| APY | MIN | MAX | INSTITUTION | PRODUCT | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.75% | $1k | - | RCB Bank | 60 Month CD | |
| 2.75% | $250 | - | RCB Bank | 60 Month IRA (Traditional, Roth, CESA) |
In the past month, the 60-month CD had two rate increases, adding a total of 170 bps. The 3.00% APY is the highest rate since late 2009, when the 3.00% APY was in effect for more than a year.
The CD is also available as an IRA (Traditional, Roth, and CESA) earning the same APY, but only requiring a $250 minimum deposit.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty “will be 24 months of interest.”
Thanks to Carpline for his Forum post about this 3.00% APY, and to the DA reader who emailed me about RCB Bank’s latest hot deal.
Availability
Headquartered in Claremore, Oklahoma, RCB Bank’s market area is roughly triangle-shaped, with Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Wichita (Kansas) serving as the three points.
With such a large footprint, I had hoped RCB Bank would have an online application, but according to CSR, “We do require our customers to come into a branch first to open any kind of an account with RCB Bank.”
In addition to the 41 full-service branches in northeast Oklahoma, RCB Bank also has 11 Kansas branches, located in Arkansas City (2), Douglass, Lawrence, Oxford, Wellington, Wichita, and Winfield (4).

On a cold January morning in the depths of the Great Depression, RCB Bank opened its doors for business for the first time in Claremore, Oklahoma. Established by local entrepreneurs L. S. Robson and George Davis, the Bank was known as Rogers County Bank and had only one branch. By the end of the first year, the Bank had turned a profit and continued to do so every year since.
The RCB Bank rebrand occurred in 1990 following the acquisition of the Bank of Oklahoma and further expansion outside of Rogers County. Between 1990 and 2010, RCB Bank acquired eight Oklahoma banks, and in 2016, acquired Cornerbank of Winfield, Kansas. RCB is currently the sixth largest bank in Oklahoma, with assets in excess of $2.75 billion and more than 145,000 customer accounts.
How the CD Compares
