1.30%/12-month, 1.48%/18-month CDs at Leaders Bank

Leaders Bank is offering two competitive mid-term CDs: a 12-month CD yielding 1.30% APY, and an 18-month CD yielding 1.48% APY. Both CDs have a minimum deposit of $10,000. Leaders Bank doesn’t seem to list their rates on their website, but these rates were advertised on page 4 of the Business section in Sunday’s Chicago Tribune (10/17/10).

Leaders Bank has three branches: in Oak Brook, Naperville, and Hoffman Estates. However, the ad in the Chicago Tribune only lists the Oak Brook and Naperville branches, so it’s possible the Hoffman Estates’ branch might have different rates on its CDs.
