Or you can buy a short-term treasury ETF like SGOV instead, get 5.3% of yield, interest is exempt from state income tax, and way more liquid.
Do not do what this guy says. Get a financial advisor if you're considering it. Do not get you financial advice from SD. Good luck.
I've never had any issues. I've had a checking, savings, and invest account with them for 6 years now.

Does SGOV make monthly distributions and are they both federal and state tax free or just state? Thanks!

Yes, monthly distributions. Only free from state income tax, because the underlying debt is issued by the federal gov't. (State or local bonds, by contrast, are generally exempt from federal income tax.)

Raisin.com has the following offers through their partner banks/CUs if anyone is interested…

High yield CD (w/ early withdrawal penalty)
- 15 months 5.5%

No penalty CD
- 9 months 5.25%

You're only talking about a difference of $250-500 return on a $100k balance in 1 year, so squabbling over a quarter or half percent may not be a big deal to most people for these short term investments.

Do not do what this guy says. Getting a financial advisor is completely unnecessary. Spend a few minutes on the internet to educate yourself on the merits of CDs vs. buying treasuries outright. You can buy treasuries for free on most major online brokerages as well as TreasuryDirect. The 1-year T-Bill is yielding 5.4% and as the other person said, is exempt from state and local taxes.

Betterment 5.5% through end of year and it's not a CD, just a savings account, withdraw anytime

That's a way better option than this silly CD "deal." 9 month treasury bills are trading at 5.4% if someone wants to lock in that term at an even better interest rate.

I can't imagine a situation where this "deal" would be a good idea for someone. Even if you live in a state with no income tax, you still get paid less with Ally.

I have Ally, no issue with them but a similar duration treasury (6 months, 9 months, 12 months) is better. No state tax and the rate is going to be a little higher .

"When you CD matures, you can withdraw your money at no charge during a 10-day grace period; withdrawal before the maturity date are subject to penalties"

Does that mean, starting on day 11, you have to pay Ally a ransom to get your matured deposit back?

Have had Ally for more than 8 years. Excellent if not the BEST online bank and consistently highly ranked. Will definitely do 18 month CD at 5%. rates are expected to fall, so better to lock in your cash if you can.
