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.

I just had a look at the one I opened last Monday, your options are:
1. Renew and select a new term
2. Transfer Balance to Savings Account
3. Withdraw Balance By Check

Used to love Alliant. I moved everything out when their rates stopped being remotely competitive.

Their 1 year CD looks good and they are trustworthy, but like others have said, I'd stick to treasuries. This is especially true if you live in a high tax state.

Anyone with previous experience on a mortgage with them? I was thinking about using them as a lender.

I do, had a good experience. The sold the loan to Dovenmuehle but I can still manage it through Alliant. I use the credit card too. 2.5% on every purchase. Works great for the things we buy.

But the 8-week bill at 5.43% is based on a 12-month annual rate. So you have to divide 5.43 by 6.5 (That's how many times 8 weeks goes into a year) to get the true rate if you only hold the money for 8 weeks. So, squatting your money for 8 weeks with a treasury yield is under 1% for those 8 weeks. (.84%).

Quote from crablover2 :
My 2cents:
For high state/local tax states, having Treasuries be state/local tax free is HUGE. I'm from CA and the state tax rate is ~10%, so that's an automatic bump of 0.5% on rates (rough calculation). I'm doing taxes now, and the savings is very apparent. I'm a total Treasuries convert now. Treasuries come in all durations, but currently the longer you go out, the interest rate decreases. Sweet spot is the shorter ranges, 4wk to maybe 26wk.

Treasuries are backed by the full faith of the US Gov (not FDIC limits). So I am not concerned about Treasuries going bankrupt and not getting all money back. I use the Treasury Direct website. They are not sticky about money like brokerage firms are when buying/paying out (ie they pay out right away when matures to your bank acct on file -- in my case, a day EARLY!) and they take money from your bank acct ON THE ISSUE DAY, NOT THE AUCTION DAY LIKE ALL BROKERAGES to buy near the end of the issue day. You can set up autorenewal up to a year (so like 25 times for the 4wk bills) and you can change that up anytime before auction.

From the Treasury website of last 20 auctions for Bills (took lastest sampling of ea):

Date CUSIP Issue Date Maturity Date Investment Rate
13-Week 912797FS1 03/14/2024 06/13/2024 5.395%
26-Week 912797KK2 03/14/2024 09/12/2024 5.308%
4-Week 912797JM0 03/12/2024 04/09/2024 5.375%
8-Week 912797JV0 03/12/2024 05/07/2024 5.398%
17-Week 912797KN6 03/12/2024 07/09/2024 5.370%
52-Week 912797KA4 02/22/2024 02/20/2025 4.950%

Thanks for the good information! That is some pretty sweet savings in those high state income tax areas like California. Even Virginia where I am is over 5%, so the more you save with treasuries, the more you make!! Lol

I opened CD with them for 12 months in February. How much time I have to change it to 15 or 17 months? Is it still possible?
