One way to earn more than twice the national average on a 12-month CD is to take advantage of the deals at local banks and credit unions.
Here’s a good example.
Park National Bank, which has 29 branches in the Chicago area, is offering 2.70% APY with a minimum deposit of $1,000.
Although the bank allows customers to apply online, it only accepts deposits from Illinois and Indiana residents.
But if you qualify, you’ll get a certificate of deposit that’s paying just as much as the best 12-month CDs in our most recent survey.
