The interest to be earned for $20k for this CD is approx. $920. Then you will need to deduct federal and state taxes from $920. Tax amounts depend on your tax brackets. For simplicity, let's use 25% for federal and 9% for state. So your final earned interest will be:


$920 - ($920 x (25% + 9%)) = $607.2

You can use above example to plug in your real tax bracket percentages to get your own number. It's a bit difficult to show the calculation of interest on here but you can find interest calculator on web.
I think by February-March next year we may see peak in interest rates being offered by banks. I would not advise to lock money for long term yet.
I don't have a dog in the race here but out of curiosity I checked the website at the OP's link:

Perhaps you'd like to share how it's done?

You need to increase your risk when it comes to investing, with some of your money, not all of it. In this case, $20k wouldn't be all of mine.

Anyway, research companies on the upswing. Understand how their past quarter has been, and what the short-term future looks like. Play the earnings if you can stomach it.

Another great tactic I like is the ole basic buy low, sell high swing trade. No doubt every week or so the market will take a hit, especially with tech stocks. Wait for the market to take a dip, buy it, wait for it go up, and sell. Do to again. Be patient.

I don't see a point here… Dollar Savings Account has 5.0% without lock in period. Isn't that better?

This post is over 7 months ago. Clearly SD gets paid to keep it up. I get the same rate with zero hold requirement just sitting in my fidelity account. This is a bad deal compared to other offers.

I have a HYSA with CIT and their HYSA rate is 4.95%... I have a 6 month 5% CD with them as well and I wish I had just left it in the HYSA.

risk here is the bank/financial institution itself... if something goes wrong you'll lose money lent to them and insured up to $100K only...

an alternative is to buy bills/notes directly w/ treasury. few bps lower but eliminates risk of lending to financial institution since govt can just print money for you.
I wouldn't put more than $25k in a small bank in an age of zero reserve and zero FDIC funds. $75k in a big bank.

CIT is FDIC insured. $250K individual or $500K for joint.
This is only true if the FDIC has funds to cover $250k insurance. But in 2023 reality, FDIC funds are wiped out from SVB and other large bail ins. It going take them a years to refill their balance sheet.

this no name deal is for sd rookies who don't go to bankrate.com to compare rates and reviews on banks. Very questionable if people put part of their life saving with CIT bank.

Try bankmindful.com and you don't have all the "promoted" stuff that bankrate has. Doesn't show ira stuff but what it does show is pretty good...

This is absolutely false. The FDIC is backstopped by the full credit and faith of the US government. So if the FDIC runs out of money, us tax payers will be funding it through the government.

FDIC deposit insurance enables consumers to confidently place their money at thousands of FDIC-insured banks across the country, and is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

This is only true if the US gov, treasury, FED have a healthy balance sheet and healthy banking system. This isn't the case in 2023. The Gov doesn't have unlimited backstop and limitless debt ceiling, its in last leg financially from 2020-2023 regulation changes and bail ins. Meaning US Gov can't afford too many backstopping.

In FDIC and US Treasury meeting raised these real concerns. Aka nearly bankrupt and poor finances in systemic risk. US Treasurer Yellen said to Congress she's is only willing to protect deposits in the top 5 largest banks and maybe banks with over $200B in assets. CIT isn't one of them with $100B assets. But First Citizen is $220B. Deposits are fleeing to large mega banks with safe harbor.

Thanks for pointing out indie sources and comparison. I mention bankrate as an example cuz it been around for 10-15 years. There are bank ads and lots of choice.

I did have a quick check on bankmindful.


Alot of these high yield banks are at risk like JUNO with bad reviews.
Tmobile checking has missing key info. like 5% yield for TM customers and tons of hoops.


Same with credit cards and credit unions. There's limited choices 5% cashback or bonus offers on frontpage


I avoid Wells Fargo, TD Bank with a history of shady practice, card fraud, and gov sanctions. Chase is mixed, some reports of them seizing funds and blocking access for months/years.
Had good luck with Ally, Fidelity, AMEX, M1/Batterment/Wealthfront, Credit Unions.


Ultimately the best yield is a self directed banking and roth IRA. 5% is still peanuts when real inflation tax is 10-20%. Good practice use at least 4 bank systems these todays including defi.

Don't feel that this deal is good at all. Yesterday TD bank offered 5% for 6-month terms. I think its way better. Or Citizen Bank gives you 4.5% for saving account (not locking your money for 6 month).

FDIC insurance is true. Everything else s speculations. Including whatever Yellen said. She is not the one who will make a decision.
