New Leader In 5- And 6-Month CD Rates

Country Bank for Savings has one of the best short-term CD rates around.

It’s paying 1.80 APY with a $500 minimum deposit on 5-month and 6-month certificates of deposit.

That’s the best, nationally available deal on a 6-month CD since H&R Block Bank switched its special to 3-month CDs last week.

The fact that the 14-branch bank based in Ware, Mass., just outside Springfield, is paying the same top rate on a slightly shorter 5-month term CD is even better.

The only drawback is that you can’t open an account online. It has to be done by mail. Contact a customer service representative to get started.
