It must be true, Credit Unions always offer the highest rates on CDs. Worcester Fire Dept. Credit Union is offering a rate of 1.71% APY on their 12 month CD with a minimum deposit of $1,000. That beats the next best deal from AloStar Bank of Commerce at 1.21% APY. This is a better rate than what any major bank is offering for the same terms. For instance, Bank of America is offering a rate of 0.50% APY on a $10,000 minimum for the same 12 month term. Chase is offering 0.25% APY and Wells Fargo isn’t worth mentioning as their rates are low and their minimum deposits are high. Its best to find the best rates on our CD rate table as these rates will be available to anyone within the US or go to your local Credit Union and ask them what their current rates are.
Here are W.F.D.C.U’s other CD rates and terms:
- 6 Month CD – 1.51% APY
- 18 Month CD – 1.91% APY
- 24 Month CD – 2.12% APY
- 36 Month CD – 2.32% APY
