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.

Quote from boosterjm :
How about I bonds?
The time to buy was over a year ago, when the rates were pretty darn high. They've fallen now and will continue to do so. The recommendation by some is to keep the ibond 3 months into a bad rate, then sell, as you get penalized the last 3 months if you sell before 5 years. Note: You must hold for a minimum of 12 months.

Those folks then invest into a high interest CD, having substituted the ibond for a guaranteed rate.

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?
if you have any doubts at all, then stick with something shorter term or go with a liquid account, such as a high interest savings account or a money market account.

Short term T-Bills, while not as high in interest as this CD, are a good option still, too, particularly due to tax benefits. They can also still be liquidated if necessary, but it's not as quick as just withdrawing money from the above.

No you can't, membership eligibility is limited to residents of NC, SC, VA, GA, and TN. Title of this post needs to be edited to reflect this.

How is this a slick deal if only a few people can get it? 🤔🤔
Do you automatically downvote any YMMV deal? Or in-store clearances?

You have a point here. While CDs are FDIC insured... Credit Unions in general are not FDIC members.

Looks like about $57K in interest for 11 months.

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).
IBonds will reset in November it will be interesting to see new rate.

Quote from SirMarvinHaggler :
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.
Keep in mind that while this rate is a bit better than what you can get from T bills of similar duration, CD interest is taxable at the state level, whereas interest from treasuries is not (only federal).

I disagree; people have different financial goals. I bond Rates have fallen, but the November rate is expected to be around 4.5 percent, which is higher than the current I bond rate. And the November rate has a fixed rate projection of around 1.5 percent, which may be worth considering if you are planning to hold long term.
