A few BankVibe readers have tipped me off on a slew of new CD (certificate of deposit) promotions going on through US Bank. Don’t get too excited, their rates aren’t anything to gawk at, but they still stomp on the national average for CD rates. They have just been published to their website (USBank.com) and have gone into effect today.

U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), with $265 billion in assets, is the parent company of U.S. Bank, the 6th largest commercial bank in the United States. The company operates 2,851 banking offices and 5,175 ATMs, and provides a comprehensive line of banking, brokerage, insurance, investment, mortgage, trust and payment services products to consumers, businesses and institutions.

CitiBank recently upped the rate of their 18 month online CD (certificate of deposit) giving us optimists something positive to cling to, given the current state of the bank deposit market.
As of this month, Citi has been advertising an 18 month online CD yielding a very respectable 2.25% APY. Depending on where you live, you may or may not deem this a decent interest rate, however this product is available to anyone nationwide.

Corus Bank recently took over GMAC’s spot as the bank with the highest yielding APY for 12 month CDs. Corus Bank, while headquartered in Chicago Illinois, is a national bank with it’s certificates of deposit, savings accounts, and money market accounts available to consumers nationwide.

We just got tipped off on a fantastic 2 year certificate of deposit promotion which is going on through a small community bank called Miners Bank, out of Minersville, Pennsylvania. Currently they are offering local customers a promotional 2 year CD with an amazing APY of 4.06%.
Thanks to frequent BankVibe reader/contributor Farmer Frank who mailed me the promotional flier, actual copy of the certificate of deposit, and a few other pieces of crucial evidence.

Nexity Bank of Burmingham, Alabama has been increasingly ranked amongst the top yielding banks for shorter term CD rates. As of today they are in the number 2 spot for 6 month CD’s with a rate of 2.58% and an APY of 2.61%. Their CD rates are competitive, but frequently come with a minimum deposit of anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000.  Their primary banking products consist of Bank CD’s (certificates of deposit), IRA CDs, money market accounts, and online banking.

Here is a credit union delivering some extremely lucrative CD (certificate of deposit) rates to it’s members. Central Sunbelt Federal Credit Union out of Mississippi has at least 4 noteworthy savings products worth looking into if you are eligible for membership.
We covered Sunbelt earlier in our post, “best CD rates in Mississippi” and just wanted to quickly reiterate their unique and attractive offerings.

Most of you probably haven’t heard of Bank Six (or Bank VI), a small, 2 branch bank located in Kansas. However, if you happen to reside in Kansas and are looking for a 12-24 month CD yielding an exceptional rate then this may be your best play.

Quantum National Bank has a pretty decent 12 month CD offer which became available on the 12th of this month. Currently they have a 12 month CD yielding 2.76% APY with a minimum deposit amount of $1,000 and a maximum deposit of $95,000.
