+67 Deal Score
36,062 Views
Hello
On a laptop via web browser, I tried to initiate outbound wire transfer from CIT bank for an entire balance whole amount and instantly got pop-up screen with offer to boost APY by 0.480% for 12 months.
Try to initiate wire transfer for an entire balance whole amount and see if you can get the same offer.
Good luck.

Been with them for many years (moved my money out of Ing Direct's Orange Savings accounts).

The only thing I don't like about them is that it seems that I have to create new accounts when interest rates were on the rise. I started with a "Savings Builder Account" (which is now earning 1.00% APY). If I just let the money ride, I'd still be earning the 1.00% APY.

Then I moved to their "Savings Connect", which is now earning 3.90% APY.

Then they introduced the "Platinum Savings" account, which is now earning 4.50% with the bonus that we are discussing in this thread.

It just seems like if you keep your money in an account during a downturn in interest rates, the rates will go down. But when rates are increasing, they introduce a new product and don't automatically increase the rates on their existing accounts.

Who is still keeping their money in the Savings Builder Account making 1.00% APY right now? And why hasn't the rate increased over time to be more competitive?

Thankfully I pay attention to this stuff, so I am not often "left behind".

So bottom line: Super happy with CIT bank, been with them for years and plan to continue with them moving forward.

Can anyone who was already on the .45 boost from earlier this year confirm that their new total APY took effect at 4.50%?

CIT has no issues at all! I've had an account there for many years BUT their rate has been consistently lower than another bank, so I've been there for the last two years. Hint hint.

You have to pay attention if you want the highest interest rate. The banks count on people being lazy and/or not willing to change banks or accounts and if you have a lot of money it's a huge difference. Lazy people don't make money and the banks count on that!

FYI, there's higher than CIT and has been for the last couple years.

Yup, I agree. If you've got a bank with higher yield (and one that you trust), please PM me as well!

Is there any reason why you don't name the bank publicly? It's not like a banks APY isn't public knowledge.
