That's good to hear. I was looking at the comments on depositaccounts.com last month and shied away from opening an account because of them.

Banks and credit unions that have ACH limits handle larger transfers initiated by other financial institutions just fine. So you aren’t really bound by those limits.

Yeah. I usually move sums out of a brokerage account or Allly so haven't run into that issue. Was just pointing it out as it's a bit fuzzy in the copy on the site. At least to me.

That is a great rate. This credit union is 5 minutes from my house.
Not familiar with credit unions in terms of FDIC type protection. How does that work?

Dtail,


It's the first I've seen. To me it means more to come, hopefully for the rest of us.

Thanks again for posting. Yes let's hope for everyone for 4%+ rates.
Will most likely go to the credit union tomorrow to check it out.

The answer is contained in the link above:
The NCUA, much like the FDIC, is an independent federal agency.

Edit: Also the depositaccounts profile says:
Please refer to our financial overview of floridacentral Credit Union (NCUA Charter # 67668) for more details.

I see now. Thanks.

Edit - when I look up the charter#, it states that it a non federal credit union, so still wondering if it is covered by Private Insurance.

From their (Florida central) web site:
Quote:
Q. Who regulates credit unions?

A. The State of Florida regulates state-chartered credit unions like Florida Central. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the Federal Government, insures our members' deposits up to $250,000 and separately insures traditional and Roth IRA accounts up to $250,000.

Dtail,
Might want to look at customer reviews. It seems what reviews there are, they aren't too happy with this credit union. Looks like 50/50.

It is only rated B+ but as long as investment is below $250k it should be fine. And you will not need to talk to them once the CD is purchased until it matures.

That and it is a benefit that he can walk into a local branch rather than doing everything online.

I find that many gripers come out in reviews on the general finance websites. You’d have to compare with other credit union reviews to get a feel.

Yes, looked at them. Since I only want the CD and no other services from them, it shouldn't be a problem.
Plus, I can always go there personally if any issues.
