That was fast! It only took a few days and no work on Melrose Credit Union’s part, but they are now back on top of the 2 year CD rate. Bank of Internet lowered their 24 month CD rate to 1.60%, causing Melrose to take the lead once again.
It seems like a bank would want to hold on to the top spot of any CD rate terms, even if it was just for a week, but it only took a matter of a few days before Bank of Internet decided to lower their rates.
The next best 24 month CD rate goes to Stonebridge Bank which is rated 1 out of 5 stars from Bankrate, which means ‘Lowest Rated’. That does not necessarily mean the bank is failing, but can give a good indication on how well the bank is performing. As long as the bank is FDIC insured, your money will be safe up to $250,000.
