Short-Term CD Specials For Boston Savers

Rockland Federal Credit Union is giving Boston-area savers their choice on a leading short-term rate.

It’s offering 1.40% APY for either 11 or 18 months, with a minimum $500 deposit.

That beats the 1.30% APY you can earn over 12 months from the top-paying national banks on our CD Rates Leaderboard.

It’s also enough to earn Rockland two spots in our constantly updated rankings of the country’s best credit union and community bank CDs.

Membership in Rockland is open to anyone who lives or works in Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth and Barnstable counties.

In addition, anyone nationwide with an immediate family member who’s eligible to join Rockland – even if they don’t join – may become a member.

Joining the credit union and opening its certificates of deposit can be started online and completed by mail, or can be done at one of its nine branches.
