Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank mazink

FYI, the default option is to auto renew after the term expires, you will have to contact their incompetent customer service or go to the branch if you want to cash out at the end of term. There is no option online to do this.

Honestly, just go get a brokered CD, rates are close to 3% APY for a 12 mo term.

Fair enough. But a lot of people don't have a brokerage account; I posted this as an option for anyone who wants an attractive return on savings they don't plan to spend for a while. Local banks are usually way behind the curve on CD rates, offering dismal returns as the norm. Thanks for commenting.

for sure, the comment wasn't to deter folks from the deal at all. Most dont know that they can purchase a CD through their brokerage account, just wanted to spread the word.

Nice rates; thanks for posting. I met with my local Edward Jones rep at his local office years ago, and his fee structure made me walk away at the time. I'm assuming that there are no fees in this case. If so, these are solid rates that a lot of people can likely get at a local Edward Jones office location. As I mentioned earlier, most local banks' rates are laughable by comparison.

thanks for the tip, never bought CDs before, but buying from a brokerage is the way to go to maximize yield

"Why in the world would someone buy CDs from banks and credit unions that pay a lower yield than Treasuries?
Because investors don't know they can buy Treasuries so easily for a higher yield than CDs at this moment."

Agreed. For people don't have a broker account, they should make the effort to open a treasury account and buy i- bond 9+% interest now.

After reaching the limit ($10k or more), just buy new issues of treasury bills and notes at broker, 6 m to 3 y 3+% interest. You can monitor live rate before place order.
