Alta Vista Credit Union’s (Alta Vista) 60-month Share Certificate has been earning 3.00% since the beginning of the year. (CSR stated he hadn’t heard of any upcoming rate drops for the 60-month Share Certificate.) The minimum opening deposit is $1k, with no stated balance cap.

The 60-month Share Certificate is also offered as an IRA (Traditional or Roth), earning the same APY, but...

In September, Nymeo introduced a 13-month Share Certificate Special (SCS) earning 2.40% APY. At the time, 2.40% APY wasn’t very impressive; two months later, it’s the top rate for 1-year CDs offered by Maryland banks and credit unions. The 13-month SCS can be opened with a minimum of...

Although TAB Bank’s 12-month CD APY dropped by 44 bps in three rate decreases in the past year, its current 2.25% APY is quite competitive. In fact, it's now the highest rate that's available from an online bank. The minimum opening deposit is $1k, with no stated balance cap.

The minimum opening deposit is $1k, with a balance cap of $250k. There’s...

One of the “New To Summary” CDs included in last week’s CD Rates Summary was Diversified Members Credit Union’s (DMCU) 13-month CD Special (2.50% APY). The minimum opening deposit is $200 of new money, with no stated balance cap. The 13-month is also available as an IRA (Traditional and Roth), earning the same 2.50% APY with the same...

DA readers may remember the 5-month CD Special (5.00% APY) offered by Credit Union of South California in October. While that offer has expired, California Credit Union (California CU) has taken up the mantle by offering a 5-month Share Certificate Special (5.00% APY). The minimum opening deposit is $1k, with a $25k balance cap. New money is required...

In September, I wrote about the new Direct Money Market Deposit Account (DMMDA) offered by Florida-based TotalDirectBank (TDB). The 2.35% APY on balances between $5k and $500k is still in effect. For more detail about the DMMDA, please refer the September 26 blog post.

In September, TotalDirectBank’s CD rates were fairly competitive, but in the past seven weeks as many other rates dipped, the...

Security Credit Union (Security CU) has added three Rainy Day Share Certificates: 29-month (2.75% APY), 17-month (2.55% APY), and 5-month (1.90% APY). These limited-time offerings require a minimum $1k of new money, which is defined as funds not currently on deposit with Security CU. While there is no specific end-date mentioned, “this offer can end at any time without notice.”
