59-month CD at Consumers Credit Union up to 2.75%
Consumers Credit Union has a relatively high long-term CD available: Their 59-month CD is yielding 2.50% APY. This CD has a minimum deposit of $250. Even better, their jumbo 59-month CD (minimum deposit of $100,000) has an APY of 2.75%. These are really their only competitive CDs: Consumer CU’s 4-year CDs are at 1.10% APY, and it only gets lower from there.
Consumers Credit Union has five locations in the northern Chicago suburbs: Two in Waukegan, and one each in Gurnee, Mundelein, Round Lake Beach, and Volo. Unlike most credit unions, Consumers Credit Union has no barrier to membership — anyone can join by paying a one-time, non-refundable $5.00 fee to the Consumers Cooperative Association.
1-year, 1.20% CD at State Bank of India
State Bank of India has a few good CDs rates available, at least in today’s low-rate environment. Their 1-year CDs are yielding 1.20% APY, their 2-year CDs have a yield of 1.40% APY, and their 3-year CDs are returning 1.71% APY. All the CDs have a minimum deposit of $2500, and the rate is good through at least tomorrow (November 23). At State Bank of India’s New York branch, they explicitly state that they are only offering CDs in single and joint names, not “in-trust for,” “POD,” and “trust” accounts, so that may very well apply to the Chicago branch as well. While State Bank of India is technically a branch of a foreign bank, all deposits at its U.S. banks are FDIC insured.
State Bank of India has branches in New York, LA, Washington D.C., and Chicago. Its Chicago branch is at 19 South La Salle Street, Suite 200.
