Competitive CD Specials at Truliant Federal Credit Union in NC, SC & VA - Local Only
Truliant Federal Credit Union is offering three competitive CD and IRA CD specials. These include a 3.00% APY 5-year CD, a 1.75% APY 17-month CD and a 1.25% APY 8-month CD. Minimum deposit is $1,000. These rates are listed at the bottom of the Truliant's certificate rates table as of 12/9/2010.
My last post on Truliant was in March 2009 when they were offering a special 3% 20-month CD. This is an example of how interest rates have gone down over the last two years. Now 3% requires triple the term length. Finding Three Percent CDs is hard these days. As a comparison to internet banks, the best 5-year CD rate is 2.55% APY at First Internet Bank.
