5.75% 8-Month CD at a Wisconsin CU (First Service)
POSTED ON BY Ken Tumin
First Service Credit Union is offering a special 5.75% APY 8-month share certificate. The minimum deposit is $1,000. There wasn't much info on this in the rate table, so I called the credit union today and was told that the term was 8 months. The only special requirement was that the deposit had to be money new to the credit union. There is no maximum deposit. The CSR said that they expect this special to last to the end of the year.

By way of comparison, my current bank (Guaranty) has their CD's at 4%.
It's a no-brainer to go with First Service. The CD deal goes until the end of December.
