Latest Bank CD Rates

It has been a little while since BankNerd’s Best of the Best, but at least it’s back today!

I heard some interesting news yesterday; the penny is being removed. Honestly, I have never liked the penny too much. It always seemed to be the dirtiest coin as well (well at least to me).

Now I read that the penny being removed will save the government a lot of money, which is great, however my brother was explaining that to counter the loss of the penny, everything will be either rounded up or down.

Community Bank, with branches primarily in Mississippi is offering a 3.00% APY 15-month IRA CD. That’s a terrific rate. The top 5-year CD at the moment pays only 2.75% and the top 12-month CD pays 2.01%. Average CD rates are even lower. The 3.00% APY is a relationship rate and a depositor must have another account at the bank to that rate. That’s as easy as opening a checking or savings account. Without a companion account, the rate drops to 2.00% APY for the FIRA, still very competitive. The rate is also only available for new contributions to the bank. The account must also be opened in a branch, so this is a local offer only.

This is not a standard CD, but rather a retirement CD. Please visit our Fixed IRA Guide for more information on how these investments work.

Community Bank, North Mississippi has $485 million in assets, up from $183 in 2006.
