Alliant Credit Union CDs All Above Average

alliant credit union logoI like the CD rates I’m finding during my reviews of big credit unions, including Alliant Credit Union, the sixth-largest credit union in the United States with more than 270,000 members.

The average rate large banks and thrifts offer for 60-month CDs is a significantly lower 0.78%. Click here to read more

There’s No ‘Loyalty’ In This CD Deal

I’ve always appreciated banks and credit unions that offer special deals to existing customers—deals in which the anointed depositor (like me) gets something the great unwashed masses can’t.

Often, they take the form of “loyalty” bonuses or bump-ups for renewing maturing CDs.

Sometimes, they appear as “customer-only” promotions, where current depositors are given the opportunity to open CDs at rates higher than publicly posted by the institution. Click here to read more
