I have to say I am have been very impressed with Penfed CU since I opened a 3 year 6.25% CD APY with them.Going from Bank or America to them is like going from night to day....If this is how all CU's operate I might never go back to a bank again.

I would recommend them to anyone,never mind the amazing rate,but the customer service alone is worth it.

I also want to share my experience w/ PenFed. I've had accounts with them since 2005 (back when 5yr 5% cd was a good deal!), these guys provide top notch service and most importantly 24x7 GOOD & FRIENDLY customer service. There have been about 3-4 times since I've opened the accounts, including a couple late night calls, all of them were handled professionally by their staff. It's as if they are actually happy working there. I couldn't believe it.

anyways, a BIG thumb-up to PenFed, regardless of their rate! (of course.. the 6.25% makes it GREAT!)

You are so right. I had occasion to call them a number of times setting up two separate transactions. Each time I called, everyone I talked to was pleasant, & always answered my questions knowledgeably, either right away, or after seeking more info, a few moments later. Their 'customer service' definitely deserves a nod compared to the misinformation you get from the 'c s' at many other institutions. Their 6.25% cd, too.

I am starting to see a lot of 30 month CDs...should this become a section in the summary, rather than tucked in to the "odd-term" listing?

I vote yes to a 30 month CD section.

Thank You jensenjp!

bankrate continues to rate Marian Miami FCU in Miami , AZ as a "5" with a safety and soundness rating of 1.

This institution has been seized and liquidated by NCUA.

I found this story about it:
null

Let's discuss it in the CD discussion thread here:null

According to BankDeals, Netbank has raised its CD rates. Terms of 1 year to 2 years have an APY of 5.40%. Longer terms have an APY of 5.35%. The minimum deposit is $1,000.

There is also a bonus ranging up to $100 for new accounts. Unfortunately, NetBank currently has a low safe and sound rating at Bankrate.com of 1 out of 5 stars (weak).

I'd avoid NetBank at any cost. Had some bad experiences with them. their servise and attitude is not even close to a bank.

As with some past banks specials I would not doubt they will say yes until the FW affect and then they will close to out of State
