I don't think CIT has anything to do with Citibank.

All fdic insured bank has a 250k protection from the federal government.
·
You can do this with treasurydirect.gov or a brokerage site like schwab, fidelity, or vanguard etc. They are federally taxed but not state. The latest 4 week t-bill was almost 6%

Keep in mind CIT recently was bought out by First Citizens, who knows if they will still service this months from now.

I was thinking of going with them but decided to stay away after reading bad reviews here: https://www.depositaccounts.com/b...ncial.html

I tried to open one last week when it was still 4.75%, since it was 1% higher than my current Ally savings account. It got denied over identity verification issues. I ended up opening a CapitalOne savings account with the sign-up bonus promo instead.

Quote from cgigate :
what would happen when the government bankrupted ?
Technically the US government would be bankrupted longtime ago ...
Maybe, next week it would be in bankruptcy for debit ceiling falling off
The world market would crash if the US govt "went bankrupt." Its not happening.

Why does it matter. If the US goes bankrupt, the dollar will have no value.

Id be careful with ANY bank below $100 Billion in deposits. Anything below that doesnt require stress Tests mandated by the Fed. Do with that info what you wish

First Citizens (owner of CIT) sits around 200billion in assets.

Quote from dragon17 :
High short term rates because of looming debt ceiling fiasco. Buyer beware.

First of all, debt ceiling fiasco is posturing like it always is. A non-event. 2nd, if it is a high in short term rates, that's the exact reason to lock it in.

Quote from SplendidStar8372 :
Enough with these CD posts. Treasury Bills are a better investment. None of these CD rates are a "slick deal"
I have yet to see a better deal than the 13 week T-Bill for rates and access. You get the highest available rates, your money under any circumstance is available (and in fact dumped right back into your bank account) in no more than three months, and most if not all available services can be executed on the website, so you won't wipe out your entire ROI with aggravation and wait times involving customer service or managing 1099s from banks all over the country.

Quote from Eragorn :
I currently have some money in a CIT Platinum Savings account with an "Interest Rate:
4.641%" that was via the last deal... do I need to set up a new account and then transfer the money from that account to this one for the extra 0.20% savings then?
I called them yesterday and was told the rate will update today. I check and it was updated on my account.
