How is the funds transfer process? How long does it take to electronically deposit and withdraw, say, $15,000?

Quote from FoDaLey :
I don't think I can ELI5 but what you're witnessing is called the inverted yield curve. There's more demand for longer term holdings because people think short term things will suck and they want to protect their money. More demand for longer term drives down the interest rate as it doesn't need to make it enticing.

Thanks. This article is very helpful.

I have another question:
Current APY shows 5.5% for 9 months.

What happens after maturity?
If I want to roll over my money to the next term, will it be same APY or will it vary (considering the interest rates changed after 9 months)?

I have to say I really appreciate that NFCU runs their online banking on old Apollo computer systems. I tried to upload documentation and gave up. Instead moved my cash into TBills ftw.
Have you been to the treasury's website? It's like going back to 2003.

Is this the best rate around?
The best is a checking or savings FDIC insured account with Primus Bank, they just raised mine to 5.1% APY. This isn't a teaser rate either and money doesn't have to be there for months or years like a CD.

I invest in crypto.

Again, I did not mean to start any problems; just saw an opportunity to make a joke. I hope you're okay and I didn't offend you.
No offense, but that is a good tell "invest in crypto", an investment gets converted back to currency. If you actually used it as a currency, you wouldn't consider it an "investment". And good luck with it as a currency, that crap is more unstable than Elon Musk. Better to have a central bank that can control the currency when needed, it works better than a hackable bunch of code.

Good luck with that, please post to the crypto bank Certificate of Deposit thread next time. Oh wait, there isn't one...

Wink

On a side note, I think it's the crypto "famous for being famous" crap that is responsible for the bubble in the market overall, and it likely will bring down more banks to come. Hope to hell it could be contained in those godawful markets and exchanges but I fear the virus has spread...

I agree with you completely. At this point, crypto is not an investment vehicle. Reading back my own response, I may have been mistaken to use the term "invest," as I was mining back in 2016. It sure cost me a lot and I lucked out in that unless it seriously goes down (even at $1k BTC, I'm in profit), I'm good.

I'm fortunate enough to have a good career, "normal investments", and a few other things going on.

If crypto were to disappear, I'd certainly be upset. Hell, I'm upset I didn't sell when BTC was nearly $70k. It is what it is.

I believe that in the long run, some form of crypto currency will replace the current standard. I don't know home many years or which coin.

edit:

In response to your comment about crypto being 'hackable,' it depends on which currency you are referring to. In addition, they technically aren't 'hacks.' Most of the time it was a compromised account (Sim swap, dictionary attack, prior password breach via another avenue (think FB posts)).

Some crypto did have holes, but they weren't 'hacks.' Mkre like leveraging the system, which has happened plenty of times in the history of the US (prior recessions, depressions)

Furthermore, and addressing your comment regarding your crypto being secured by the government or any other agency - thus is why crypto always beloved in "not your keys, not your coins." If everyone stored their coins in cold storage, there would be fewer thefts of crypto.

it isn't fair to a newbie, as they may not understand cold wallets. They just want to trade like a regular stock. That's part of the problem.

Eventually, the crypto community will have to devise a way to Keep it Simple. once they achieve that, it will further grow and perhaps be backed by the full faith and government of [insert here].

Without that happening (and it's certainly a lot), I believe crypto will stay in limbo and be considered a risky asset.

I wouldn't BUY any crypto currencies as it is a huge risk, especially at this point (or in the past 4 - 6 years, excusing the dump in 2020 when BTC was around 2.5k-3k).

Again, I was very lucky to get in early, when mining was reasonably profitable. If anyone reading this is interested in buying crypto, please do your own research and don't 'invest' more than you care to lose. Personally, I'd consider it a casino at this point, despite my belief that it has merits and will eventually become a trading platform where there is no need to convert to USD/CAD/etc

Yeah I was lucky to buy QQQ in 1998. So what. This is the funny part of the crypto crowd: "it will further grow and perhaps be backed by the full faith and government of [insert here]." Yes exactly, its famous for nothing and has created a bubble that will boil down to nothing. No underlying real estate, no underlying business, our economy is exposed based on this ponzi scheme. Glad you got in early! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Crypto Jeeniuses have wrecked us all

Why they come to troll a real bank finance thread for people trying to counteract their damage is beyond me. Well, they got nothing better to do praying for crypto revival I guess...

I am looking to put 300k in a CD. I would not need the money for a while. Am I better putting it into a higher interest for a short amount and then moving it somewhere else or should I look for a longer term (even if interest is lower) in case interest rates come back down to earth?

It would be whatever the rates are at the time. You'd be getting a new CD.

It's tough to predict. For example if it's 5.5% for 12 months and rates drop severely where after the 12 month maturity, all you have are 12 month CDs at 4%...then a 5% for 24 months may have been better if you consider the entire 24 months as a whole.
