I'll take some of those. Let us know if you find them. I'll getting 1.92 on the Penfed 3 yr currently and agree the I bond/ ST funds look better.

I went into Penfed today to drop off some paperwork. The 3yr IRA CD rate is a tad lower than I posted earlier....1.87 vs. 1.92 for taxable CD. I asked about end of year deals and they said if rates change it will be on the 1st of the month and members are notified at the same time as the CSRs. I don't think it's accurate that rates only change on the 1st.

Goldman Sachs and Capital One offer the same rate, with $500 and no minimum respectively, per www.depositaccounts.com.

I was surprised by this too when IRA CD renewed. Rep explained that IRA CDs have a component of no-penalty liquidity (for RMDs for example) .......so just as savings account typically has lower rates vs longer term CDs , IRA CDs typically have lower rates than non-IRA CDs.

I got an email from Ally Bank that said I would get an additional 0.05% on my renewing CDs as a "loyalty bonus" which would bump the 11 month no penalty CD from 1.5% to 1.55%.

Interesting. I am intrigued that you received this explanation (or any at all for that matter). It means I am being charged the RMD liquidity expense even though my CDs mature well before I reach RMD phase. Most of my other credit unions offer the same rate for taxable and IRA products, although the maturities available sometimes differ.

Yep, that was nice and have one more year to go on them. Nothing after 4 years still doesn't come close.

Just be sure you don't ever need to cash it early as their penalties jump once over 12 months..
If you think you might cash it, then the 12 month cd at 1.65% is a safer and nearly the same value.


"
Penalty Amounts:
  • Terms of 12 months or less: 90 days of simple interest at the current rate.
  • Terms of more than 12 months but less than 48 months: 180 days of simple interest at the current rate.
  • Terms of 48 months or more: 365 days of simple interest at the current rate.

Based on my experience of long delays to execute direct transfers between my CU's and Ally, vs. transfers from Fido, those brokered CD's are looking more attractive.

I guess they decided to continue this offer after all.

Thanks!
Looks like there is also a 32 month IRA/ESA @ 2.75. The 15 month is taxable only.

I guess your money has to go somewhere and making something is better than nothing, but it sure is hard to get excited about 1.5 - 2.0% interest. Then I looked at my local credit union and they were under 1% for 12 months. I guess I'll take $50k to $100k and put it in a CD because I'm currently just in a savings account, but again, sure hard to get excited about a few hundred bucks on several thousand. (I know, gotta watch the pennies or the dollars will slip away.)
