Northern Bank (New England) Ups 24-month CD

POSTED ON BY

Deal Summary: 24-month CD (2.25% APY), 48-month CD (2.50% APY), $500 minimum deposit

Availability: Market area covers all of New England.

Just before Christmas, Massachusetts-based Northern Bank raised the rates on its 24-month CD (2.25% APY) and 48-month CD (2.50% APY). The minimum deposit is $500, with no stated balance cap.

Both CDs are also available as IRAs (Traditional, Roth, CESA, SEP), earning the same APYs with the same funding requirements.

In the past eight months, I’ve written about the CDs offered by Northern Bank Direct (the new internet division of Northern Bank), including their 24- and 48-month CDs. Both these nationally available CDs have APYs 25 bps lower than what is currently being offered by Northern Bank.

According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty is as follows:

    Term of 12-35 months: 12 months interest

    Term of 48 months or greater: 36 months interest

Availability

Headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, Northern Bank offers it services and product line to “U.S. Residents of the New England States.” That includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Opening a CD can be done online, or at any of 12 Massachusetts branches located in Acton, Billerica, Burlington, Chelmsford, Littleton, Melrose, Reading, Sudbury, Westford, and Woburn (3).

Northern Bank & Trust Company made a big change to its CD rates yesterday. I reported on this bank last month when it was offering a 1.15% APY 18-month CD. That rate has fallen to 0.75%, but its 3-year CD rate went way up to a very competitive level. The new 3-year CD yield is 1.50%. The 5-year CD rate also went up, but it’s not quite as competitive. The new 5-year CD yield is 1.75%. These rates are listed at the bank’s deposit rates page as of 7/9/2013.
