3.30% 6-month/3.40% 12-month “Flexible CD” at Center Bank
Center Bank is offering a very high rate on their 6-month and 12-month CDs: Their 6-month CDs are yielding 3.30% APY, and their 12-month CDs are yielding 3.40% APY. These CDs have a minimum balance requirement of $500. Even better, though, is that these CDs are what Center Bank calls a “Flexible CD,” meaning that it has some liquid features: ”You may make additional deposits into account before maturity during a term. The minimum amount of any additional deposit is $1,000. The total amount of any additional deposits during a term can not exceed the initial deposit at account opening or at renewal.” In addition, [t]wo penalty-free withdrawals…are allowed during any term,” as long as they don’t take the balance of the CD less than $5000. You can read the entire list of restrictions and directions at their ad here.
Center Bank has 18 branches, but only one in Illinois: 5520 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago.
