CIT is a subsidy of First Citizen Bank.
Awful , awful reviews

We've been with Ally for 10 years and never had a single complaint about them. Customer service is available 24/7 and everyone speaks intelligible English.

Just buy them directly from Treasury. The Treasury Direct website won't win any awards for user friendliness, but it's not difficult to set up an account, the search function is very good for finding answers and it's a full service website. And of course there are a zillion resources available on the Internet.

I spoke to Fidelity about buying T-bills or bonds through them and my recollection is that there are two ways to do it, one involves fees and one doesn't. I figured for the same effort it would take to fully understand the difference, I could probably figure out the Treasury Direct site and I was correct about that.

The idea is to balance risk and get a better return than what my bank offer. UST Direct accomplish that with one stop shopping. You get a better rate and don't have to spend ungodly amounts of time chasing rates at unknown banks all over the country.

Not the best out there (talking ONLY rates here): several banks have new issues at half a percent higher.
Examples: 9 months at 5.4+ from PNC, Zions, Bank of China, Independent, JP Morgan, Beal, Goldman, Meadows.
12 months at 5.4%+ from Minnwest, Goldman, US Bank, JP Morgan, Beal

I can't believe this thread is still alive.
So many better alternatives exist for sophisticated investors - Treasury Bills, TIPS, etc.

In current environment bank savings accounts and even CDs are (mostly) a bad deal.

Sophisticated investors. Lol. It's hardly sophisticated.

It's FDIC insured, so 250k below deposit should be very safe

Take my comments with a grain of salt as I've only been a CIT customer for most of 2023.

I only use them for a high yield platinum savings account, and I've had zero issues. I don't expect many problems either as I intend to mostly just sit and let my interest collect, and I set up some automatic payments - all has been just fine and as expected.

Not a whole lot to go wrong if you aren't frequently engaging or anything. No loans to deal with. They seemingly suck more in those regards, but that has no impact on me and in my situation.

the only thing about CIT now is that they seemed to have slowed down the increases of the APY while other banks still go up

I don't think those are "no penalty".

Why not just buy T-bills, have even better return and no state tax.

I dont think that that the bulk of the community here are sophisticated investors with high net worth. I know i am not just the average joe. If you can elaborate on better alternatives more specifically that would be helpful for us non sophisticated folk it would be much appreciated.
Go to "bonds" in your brokerage account (Fidelity, Schwab, etc.). There look at US Government bonds. They currently all trade extremely high, thanks to uncle Powell at the FED. They have different maturity dates. So it's very similiar to an 11 Month CD account. Most such bonds yield more than 5% per year currently. (If you have too much money you can buy 10-yr or 30-yr bonds and get a near life-time return of 5%). Added bonus is that no state tax is charged on such T-bills.

These are considered the safest and most "risk free" investments. Of course governments can go bankrupt and then it sucks, like in Argentina. But then the CD accounts won't help either.

Edit: you can of course buy US government bonds directly from the US treasury, they have a .gov site for this. The upside of using a brokerage account is that one can also just sell them and not wait until maturity, if needed. So it's also added liquidity (but their price might drop, while the return at maturity is always promised).

I think the Capital one 10 month 5.3% is better.
