36-month, 4.00% CD at Bridgeview Bank

Bridgeview Bank has a pretty good mid-term CD: a 36-month CD that’s earning 4.00% APY.  The CDhas a $5000 minimum deposit.  This CD is not listed on their website, but it was sent to me yesterday by Bridgeview Bank, so I believe it’s still available.

Bridgeview Bank has 15 Chicago-area branches:  Eight in Chicago, two in Bridgeview, and one each in Beach Park, Lincolnshire, Mokena, Oswego, and Woodridge.

3.70% 2-year CD at Bridgeview Bank

Bridgeview Bank has a pretty nice CD available in our dropping rate environment: a 24-month CD that earns 3.70% APY. This CD does not seem to be listed on their website, but it was sent to me by Bridgeview Bank earlier this week, and I believe it’s still available. The CD has a $5000 required minimum opening balance.  Bridgeview also has a 12-month CD that earns 3.35% APY with the same minimum.

7-month, 7.77% CD at Bridgeview Bank

Bridgeview Bank has a new CD — the “Lucky 7 CD” — at a rate so high you’ll think there must be a catch: a 7-month CD that earns 7.77% APY. And yes, there are a couple catches to this CD deal, but they’re not insurmountable. First, the CD has a maximum deposit of only $7,777.77, which puts some limit on your earnings. Second, the CD requires you to open a Prime, Premium or Preferred Checking account with Bridgeview Bank, and if you close the checking account before six months, you’ll have to pay a $25 fee.  Finally, you’ll have to initiate direct deposit before 45 days or the APY will be reduced to 3.50% APY for the entire term.  Despite all that, however, this might be a very good deal for some of you out there willing to jump through a few hoops.

10% CD at Bridgeview Bank!

Yes, you read that correctly: Bridgeview Bank is offering a 10%, 90-day CD. As you might guess, there are a couple catches, but not as big as with other outstanding rates of this type.  First, you must open a checking account with them with either direct deposit or direct debit on it.  Second, the CD has a maximum of $25,000 — a little restrictive, but not nearly as bad as it could be.  The CD also has a minimum of $2500.

Bridgeview Bank has 15 branches, all of which are in Chicagoland:  Eight in Chicago, two in Bridgeview, and one each in Beach Park, Lincolnshire, Mokena, Oswego, and Woodridge.
