5.05% 5-month CD at Wachovia Bank

Wachovia Bank has what might be a good deal for some looking for some short-term earnings: a 5.05% 5-month CD. This CD has a $5000 minimum, but the minimum lowers to $2000 if you open it up as an IRA CD. The CD may require you to have a Wachovia checking account — one webpage says yes, one says no — but you’ll have to talk with them to see if that’s necessary.

Wachovia has many, many branches nationwide, including eight branches in Illinois: One each in Elmhurst, Evanston, Glenview, Huntley, Niles, Palatine, Schaumburg, and Westchester.
