You could say that about Costco, Meijer, Microcenter, or many regional stores.

But credit unions are insured up to the same dollar limits as banks by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) which is basically identical to FDIC insurance and backed by the full faith and credit of the US government.

There is no risk of loss putting money up to the $250k insured limit in a credit union.

I did three 11-month CDs at 6.25% recently with them as a new member and it all went fairly smoothly (almost). I'm still not sure what their membership criteria is, but I'm in NC and one qualification is resident of NC or surrounding states. I believe they have a membership in American Consumer Council criterion as well.

The only snag I had was I was initially rejected because of "info supplied by Chex". So yes, my Chex is frozen and has been for many years and that's never stopped me from opening bank accounts. But I temporarily lifted Chex freeze and reapplied successfully.

Even with ACC membership, its limited to few surrounding states only (not for nation wide)

How is this a slick deal if only a few people can get it? 🤔🤔

Yup, definitely a great time to put money into a small super regional financial institution at a rate quite a bit higher than most.

How about I bonds?
Current composite buy rate is 4.3% (0.9% of that is fixed for life of bond, the rest is variable and adjusts 2x/year).

Let's say you have 10 grands with your current bank and move 5000 grands to earn $325. Would it be wise to lock in 5K? Should you need this 5k before the maturity?

You should not lock up or get taxed on (stocks, etc) money you need before maturity.

In your case, I would look at a high yield savings account, which are getting 4+% right now. Savings account typically allow some withdrawals penalty free each month. Place your $5K over there (plus the minimum amount required to start the savings), then whenever you need to withdraw, do it.

If you have slightest thought that you might need money and it would be out of this CD before it matures, then its a non starter.
