Sovereign Bank Offers A Save & Invest CD Package At 2.25%

By BankAim · Comments (0)
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Sovereign Bank has come out with a limited time offer to help you save and invest your money at the same time. The Save & Invest CD Package takes your money and splits it between two CDs, with half put in a 6 month CD at 2.25% APR and the other half put in a 36 month CD term.

The key is to diversify

This is a great way to diversify your money between saving it and investing it at the same time in a high paying CD package. As half of your money earns a steady high interest rate of 2.25% for 6 months, the other part of your money will be linked to investments in the S&P 500. A great aspect of the 6 month CD term is that there is no early withdrawal penalty, which will give you access to that half of your money.

The best part about the 36 month CD investment is that unlike some longer term investments, it is FDIC insured. In an economy like ours, it is vital to make sure you put your money in a safe institution that is federally insured. The guarantee you have with the 36 month CD is that you will not lose any of your investment, the only penalty for the S&P going down will be that you will not receive any interest for the period. For every year that the S&P goes up you will receive a great interest rate.

Additional details about this offer:

  • Minimum combined deposit for the CD package is $5,000.
  • Must be opened before November 27th, 2009
  • The Invest CD matures on November 30th, 2009; the term will be 36 months from that date.
  • There is an early withdrawal penalty for the Invest CD, and within 6 days of opening the Save CD.

This great offer from Sovereign Bank offers you an easy and low risk way of both saving and investing your money. For more information, visit the Sovereign Bank promotional page here.

Highest 6 Month CD Rates At 1.76% – October 2009

By BankAim · Comments (0)
Friday, October 23rd, 2009

We found the highest rates for a 6 month cd (certificate of deposit) sitting around 1.76% nationally, down roughly 0.05% from the previous week. The current national average for the 6 month CDs sits about 1.16% APY.

Ascencia Bank of Louisville Kentucky holds the current highest rate for any 6 month CD nationally at 1.76%. They are a nationwide bank and will accept deposits from any state. The minimum required deposit is $500 and your interest is compounded monthly.

Banks and Credit Unions sometimes offer promotional rates for odd maturity dates such as a 7 month CD, 13 month CD or 15 month CD. America’s Credit Union has two promotions going on with odd maturity dates. The first is a 7 month CD which pays 2.0% APY, with a minimum deposit of $500. The second promotion is a 13 month CD paying 2.15% APY with a minimum deposit of $500. These odd maturity dates usually have a higher interest rate than what is normally offered. If you know of any higher paying CDs or promotions going on that are noteworthy please send us a message.

Highest 12 Month CD Rates At 2.25% – October 2009

By BankAim · Comments (0)

Highest 12 Month CD Rates – October 2009

The current highest 12 month CD rates (certificates of deposit) that are nationally available are currently paying up to 2.25% APY. Depending on where you live in the US, you might be able to find slightly higher interest rates than the national average.

The winner of the top 12 month CD rates currently goes to ING Direct at 2.25% APY. Most new CDs must be funded with new month to get the rate advertised. This is a way for the banks to get new money to lend or to create a cushion for their bank. New money is important to any bank and their financial well being. With their 12 month CD paying 2.25% APY, you will might be able to find local rates in your area higher than ING Direct’s CD rates. If you have an account with ING Direct and wish to transfer funds to this new CD, or if your current CD just matured you can still transfer money over and get a rate of 2.10% APY for the 12 month term.

The next best 1 year CD rate that is available nationally goes to UmbrellaBank which yields 2.06% APY. To get this rate you will need to deposit a minimum of $1,000, which is pretty low compared to some opening balances required for the higher paying CDs.

Discover Bank comes in 3rd with a rate of 2.0% APY on their 12 month CD and also they are throwing in a sign up cash bonus of $25.00. The minimum deposit to open this account is $2,500 and depending on how much you put in at first the sign up bonus could equal close to 1.0% more to the earnings of this 12 month CD.

If you know of other higher paying CD rates for October 2009 please let us know!
