  • About this deal:
    • Limit one Special 15-Month Certificate (Share Only) per member.
    • This offer, including the stated Annual Percentage Yield (APY), is effective as of January 9, 2023.
    • Navy Federal reserves the right to end or modify this offer at any time. Excludes IRA and ESA certificates.
    • The Special 15-Month Certificate (Share Only) has a $50 minimum balance and a $250,000 maximum balance. Additional deposits are allowed at any time, subject to the maximum balance.
    • Dividends earned are not included in the maximum balance allowed. Once the promotional rate is applied to a purchased certificate, it will remain in effect for the length of the product term. Penalties apply for early withdrawals from certificate accounts. Other restrictions may apply.
  • About this product:
    • A share certificate is similar to a certificate of deposit (CD) but is issued by a credit union rather than a bank. Like a CD, they're issued for a fixed period of time—generally between 3 months and 7 years. They also earn slightly higher dividends than other savings options. Another advantage of certificates is they provide a safe and secure way to grow your money, regardless of market fluctuations.
  • About this Credit Union:
    • Navy Federal Credit Union is federally insured by the NCUA. More info here.
  • Please refer to the forum thread for additional details & discussion. -StrawMan86

It's all members of the military and DoD + their families. Not just Navy.
And employees and their families.

Quote from gabrielh :
What do you mean month from now? It's annual percent yield locked for 15 months. So your $1000 will get you $63 profit
You said it best. Sorry for not being clear.

That $63 in profit is so small idk if it worth doing so.

Obviously if someone do $10,000 for example then I can see the appeals.

The reason why I said $1000 is because the average American typically saves $400 according to sources. As we head to possible recession, I thought maybe the average American would put more $ in saving. Guess I'm wrong here.

If you put in 100k, you will have 106,136.77 by the end of 15 months.
Exactly but let be realistic. How many folks that has kind of $ readily available? Us American aren't culturally known for savings.

Am I doing this formula correctly?

$10,000.00 (for example) * 0.05 = $500.00 in profits at month #15?

I know many people who do have it and its not a very attractive offer unless your super risk adverse. Vanguard is giving 4%+ with no tie up.

Also, if you are barely putting in any money, then iBonds...

This is the first time one of these CD threads has actually offered a better return than similar duration treasury bonds. If you live in a state that doesn't tax your income >10%, then you're better off with this CD than with a treasury bond.

It's too bad that the rate is only available for a limited group.

5% is nice, but I think in 6 months the t-bill yeilds will be around that or more. It is 4.5% APR for the 2 months already.

they have a calculator on their information page: https://www.navyfederal.org/makin...lator.html

$10,000 gets you $10,644 at maturity.

the sick part, if you click the show details tab.... the effing government is going to take aprox $205 of that in taxes when you file....

Quote from richiexluu :
if you borrow $100 with a 5% APR, you will pay $105 dollars back to the lender you borrowed from. The lender will make $5 in profit.

If Navy Federal borrows $100 from you with the percentage that's posted, how much do you think you'll get?
I was told there would be no math.

Ahh seriously? Man I forgot about that being taxable.

If $439 is what would left on the table to keep then probably not worth it especially if for example he or she constantly put $100 into the savings every paycheck. What do you think?

Good rate, sadly no military connections. I'm at around 4.75 on some of my 9-12 mo CD's. That would have been nice for that short term

Ahh wish this was public, instead of just navy. 5% is the goal for me
Check Tbills. Almost 5% rate for 26 or 52 week. Best part is no need to pay state taxes.
