If you have an account with NASA FCU, this is a great deal. However, if you need to open an account and transfer cash in and then transfer cash out - well maybe there are better alternatives.

1. Zero Coupon (3 mo) T-bills are yielding 5.2% (Cusip: 912796XY0). You can ladder these and get up to the 9 mos if you want. The extra 0.3% at NASA (assume $10k deposit) is worth $22.

2. Munis - I am seeing Munis (around 9 mos expiration) yielding 4% - these are tax exempt, so 4% / (1-your tax rate) to get after tax yield. These 4% therefore are close to 6%, but there is some risk in munis.

3. Is it worth it - so for each 0.5% increase in yield on a CD (assume you deposit $10k), you get an extra $37. If your bank has a 5% CD and you go through the hassle (I am assuming it is a hassle) to open a new account to get the 5.5%, is the extra $37 worth it to you. That is the real qs.

Just my $0.02. Peace

Credit Unions are insured by NCUA [wikipedia.org], the credit union version of the FDIC. And NASA FCU is NCUA insured: https://www.nasafcu.com/about-us

And my savings account has 5% rate.
Yeah and that rate changes (will probably fall once feds decrease the interest rate) every few months while cd rates won't.

Another option is a 12 month CD with Clearpath credit union at 6%. You can become a member of the credit union by donating $5.

I'm a newbie to Tbills, but is there a 9 month duration? There is a 6 and 12, but no 9 that I could find

Do it how it is done in the market. Create your own i-curve based your own duration by buying multiple bonds with different maturities. For a simple example, buy 50% 6mo and 50% 1yr to create an interpolated 9mo bond (assuming holding cash or reinvest in 1mo for last 6mo)

Callable or non-callable? I saw the question asked before, but not answered. I researched a Synchrony CD a week ago for about 5%, but couldn't find an answer on that one. Didn't pull the trigger.

Legitimate question - why don't folks just buy 4 week T-Bills in this climate instead of being tied up in CDs? I'm not seeing the benefits, but admit I could be missing something obvious.

Lol that's ironic- both are backed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
If the United States of America defaults on its debt then there's more to worry about than your t bill.

Some people have large amounts of money they want a guaranteed return for a longer time period. Those close to retirement age come to mind.

Treasury securities are taxed only on federal level. CDs taxed at both Fed and state. 5.5% can quickly become 5% or less depending on your local state bracket

26 week and 52 week yield more than 4%. They'll yield more the closer we get to debt ceiling debacle / circus show.

Depends how you want to see it. Park you money at treasury or open a new account at another bank then have your money sit there. I prefer former just for consolidation purposes.

Because in some circumstances you WANT to be tied up. Think cash component for a retirement account. This money is generating a guaranteed yield with negligible risk, and zero effort for 9 months. T-Bills are great but need much more work, however, offset by being immediately liquid.

1 month T-Bills are going for 5.4% if you don't want to lock up your money for 9 months. Just saying.

My brokerage account offers significantly lower yield for the treasury bill, compared to the official yield rate. Any idea why is that?

Wouldn't trust Goldman. I'll keep laddering t-bills and maybe throw some money in a long term CD at some point. But stay away from GS.
Bad experience or just concerned? I don't like them for various reasons but feel like apple wouldn't steal my money? Thanks
