CIT is a division of First Citizens Bank and Trust Co.
Didn't First Citizens just acquire the assets of SVB?
4.80% is good for a no-penalty CD.
For a normal CD, Marcus is offering a 10-month 5.05%.
CIT also has a savings account for 4.75% if you put in more than $5k. Keep in mind that CIT is notorious for creating new savings products with higher rates and reducing the rates of old ones without telling you.
Ally needs to match this. They just lowered theirs to 4.35% from 4.75%.

I did a ton of research and looks like buying vanguard vmfxx is a win-win situation. Current 4.77%. Moving all my money to vanguard now.

Not fake news, I have a 4.75%. You need someone to refer you to get the extra 1.00%

That's temporary for a few months

How? That is an investment fund and not FDIC insured, carrying little risk, but still risk.

I looked at VMFXX and yes, it's a good option. However, its yield fluctuates. It can go up or down.
From a quick search, in the last 12 months, the yield has gone up from 0.18% to 4.77%. It can go higher or lower based on the interest rates.

If you've your credit frozen, is there a chance they won't open the account. They denied the app automatically after I filled out the form.

In such a situation, calling them might be the best option.

Yes, but I don't see a fed pivot anytime soon. Rates will continue to go up another 25 bps and then a pause for a few quarters most likely.

True. I did some more research and decided to do VUSXX instead.
It has a slightly lower rate, but more safe @ 4.70%.
VUSXX are mostly treasury securities which is essentially the same as FDIC.
If VUSXX goes down, so will FDIC, and better get stock up on canned food and guns at that point.

Not as liquid but still very liquid. Same with brokerage cds
T-Bills are liquid but not no-risk.

They're a bond, and they can go below par. Of course you'll still get your full coupon amount if you hold it to term.

But they can be worth less than face value if rates go up and you want to liquidate.


That said, T-Bills are better than VUSXX because T-Bills are tax-exempt from state taxes.

What you said is true for any fixed income instrument. They can all lose value when rates go up

Have a look at I Bonds which are presently 6.89%. Limited to 10K per year contribution (and an extra 5K using tax refund proceeds).

I think the rate for the CDs are locked once you have them open. Savings account are the ones they change.

I agree last week I found the APR on my saving account is only 1%. Checked my old Statements its the same. Not sure when they changed or the rate never increased. So I moved money out immediately

CD threads aren't complete w/o you commenting on t-bills. I'm just glad you're no longer shorting Tesla, phew!

Vanguard website is like sh**. Plus, you can't use it like a checking account.
