For more details about GMAC Bank and these CDs, please refer to my GMAC post from last week.

Last week GMAC made some substantial rate increases on its 4 and 5 year CDs. It's nice to see some more rate increases after Wednesday's Fed rate cut. As I described in this post, banks have been increasing their long term rates. Inflation and the expectation that it'll cause future rate hikes are part of the reasons. Perhaps GMAC is anticipating that rate hikes may happen sooner rather than later. Another reason for the CD rate hikes may be its need to raise cash (see news article).

GMAC Bank is FDIC insured (Certificate # 57803).
