I've banked with them for years. Been solid all that time

They're known to be the best credit Union across the whole country

Looks like you need to put in 75k to get 5.45. Otherwise it's 5.4 for 12 months. Still not bad. Still have a few months left on my Navy Federal CD though.

Another long time Alliant CU user. Pro Tip: While you are considering Allied membership, consider getting their great 2.5% cash back Visa Signature Credit Card (CC). This thing is one of my go to CCs and it also provides free extended warranties (up to 1 additional year on eligible warranties of 3 years). Other features include: No fees including foreign transactions, Travel Accident Insurance, Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver. Link:

Cash back up to 10000 spend, then 1.5

I'd like to add to the support for Alliant. Been with them for 15 years and only had one small issue the whole time. Great app, good to know you're supporting the community with a credit union instead of a big bank, and great customer service.

Quote from duvet :
You can get the same rate, or better, and not have your money tied up for a long period of time. You can choose investments for as short as 4 weeks.

Currently, a 4 week treasury is going for a around 5.4%.

These are the correct answers. These CD's are only a good deal if you ignore T-Bills.

I would assume so. In general you'll need to open the basic member savings account (something like that). At least that has been my experience with all the credit unions I've dealt with in the past (I am not an Alliant customer though, so can't speak directly for them). I mostly use brick & mortar credit unions, and have found them to be pretty good though diff ones are better at diff things.

They are my primary bank and are great. I get fee-free ATM withdrawals at any 7-11 or credit union that has a "CO-OP" logo on their ATM.

I pulled my money out of Alliant savings account recently. They've been dropping savings rates steadily. Better rates (like a full point higher) from Discover, Cap One or simply a Fidelity money market fund. Otherwise no problems with them in 10 years.

Not federal taxed
Not tied up for 18months (8w bill approx 5.43%)
Backed by US treasury
Easy to do (direct withdrawal/deposit)
Stop at any time
Everything but the bolded makes sense. They are absolutely taxed. There is even an option for witholding

You have to be nutz to buy Bitcoin with how volatile that market is.

Quote from RowdyReptile :
It says "A penalty will be imposed for early withdrawal of any principal amount." but it doesn't say what penalty.

For comparison, CIBC has a 13-mo CD at 5.36% (only a tiny bit below this 5.4% on amounts under $75k) with just a 30-day interest penalty for early withdrawal. So if there's a chance you'll need access to those funds earlier, CIBC may be a better choice.
https://us.cibc.com/en/agility/ce...posit.html
Why aren't people talking more about this!? EEK!

If you expect rates to go down being able to lock in a good rate, with an extremely short early withdrawl penalty seems like a no brainer. Only thing that sucks is vs the T-Bill you gotta pay state income tax but that may be worth it if/when the rates drop.

Can anyone find their max transfer limit (whether it be daily or monthly)?
