Best IRA CD Rates - October 2009 So far, some banks and credit unions have increased their supply of CD IRA. One, a small community bank in Texas, had a TRA 2.53% for 2-years with an option to bump once. The rate has not lasted long, and I will not name them. However, I could in the future if you can stay in touch. wink, wink, wink.
The big player seems to be Alliant Credit Union . In fact, they have special rates for CDs very often. If you are an existing member of the process is much faster than trying to become a member and get a CD made. So even if you have more time, I think it would be a good idea to complete their process. The hardest thing with them is that they do not guarantee the rate beyond the current day. So if you put the process from the IRA to the speed and the rate drops, you're out of luck. Anyone can become a member first joined the National PTA. They are $ 25, I think. You can then fill out the form Alliant members. Be forewarned that their online process has proven difficult for many in the past. He asks a series of questions about the information it receives from the credit bureaus and I know several people who claim the information was wrong and therefore they could not complete it online. You can always follow the path of post if necessary. Anyway, the current <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href=""> highest IRA CD rates </ a> are:
1a - 2.30% APY <BR>
2Y - 2.55% APY <BR>
3Y - 3.00% APY <BR>
5Y - 3.25% TRA.
Their Ncua # 67955 is and they are based in the Windy City of Chicago, IL. They are quite large with over 6 billion dollars in assets. In March 2009 data, they have a rating of 4 stars.
Another major player is Ally Bank, but they do not offer rates for IRA CDs. People's Trust Federal Credit Union has a 18-month ARI 2.12% APY. They are based in Houston, TX. They have a 2-star rating. Ncua popular is # 177. Looks like they have been around for a while. I had to do quite a few clicks to get rates. I hate it. The link below should save you time.
If you are willing to stick to a bank try the countries of the Bank, the FDIC # 34710. Their process is not too difficult. They are about 2.25 billion dollars in assets, has made a profit strong second quarter, and 4.5 stars. Rates are:
