Rates up to 4.75% at Credit Union 1

Credit Union 1 has a number of good to very good CD rates available:

  • 6 months: 3.85% APY
  • 12 months: 3.90% APY
  • 18 months: 3.925% APY
  • 24 months: 3.95% APY
  • 30 months: 4.00% APY
  • 36 months: 4.35% APY
  • 48 months: 4.60% APY
  • 60 months: 4.75% APY

Those CDs have a $10,000 minimum, but you can also get them with a $1000 minimum if you’re willing to take 10 basis points off those rates.  Even better, however, is that you can add 10 basis points to those rates if you get the CD as an Traditional IRA CD, Roth IRA CD, or Coverdell ESA.

Credit Union 1 is privately insured by American Share Insurance rather than publicly through the FDIC or NCUA, which means that the union’s assets aren’t backed by the U.S. Government — although it also means that the assets are insured for $250,000 rather than $100,000.

Credit Union 1 is a relatively open credit union, with many different groups eligible for membership: active and retired military, and employees at the state of Illinois, Cook County, University of Illinois at Chicago, Eastern Illinois University, Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America, AON and Chicago Tribune, as well as 750 additional companies.

Credit Union 1 has 19 locations, 11 of which are in Chicagoland: Seven in Chicago, and one each in Evergreen Park, Libertyville, Lombard and Northlake.
