1-year, 4% CD at Poplar Creek Community Bank
Since short-term CDs haven’t made up the ground that long-term CDs have, it’s nice to see a 1-year CD earning 4.00% APY, like the 1-year CD that Poplar Creek Community Bank is offering. Unfortunately, Poplar Creek’s CD does have a major restriction: You “[m]ust open Checking Account with Direct Deposit and 12 Month Promo CD Plus to receive the…rate.” If you don’t open the checking account with direct deposit, the rate drops to a still-reasonable 3.75% APY. The CD also has a minimum of $5000.
Poplar Creek Community Bank is a relatively new bank — it opened this past October — and it’s located on Algonquin Road east of I-290 and west of New Wilke Road.
5.5% 12-Month CD at Poplar Creek Community Bank
Poplar Creek Community Bank in Rolling Meadows is offering a 5.50% APY 1-year CD. There are a couple catches to this CD, unfortunately: The rate requires opening a new checking account with the bank, and that account has to have direct deposit. If you don’t meet those requirements, the CD rate goes down to 5.25%. There is also a minimum of $5000 for opening the account.
