As for the Connexus 7 month certificate of deposit, that looks like it may have been an issue with their website rather than faulty reporting. Either way, it is not offered anymore.

It's on the PDF file that is still linked from the Connexus website (off of their CD applications page). Maybe that is causing the mix up. Seems like Connexus shouldn't have that link on their site if the product is no longer active. Here is the link FROM Connexus TO the PDF which is still currently advertising the 7 month CD rate: I see where they are advertising this 7 month deposit rate.

Bankvibe must of kept an old link to a pdf and is referencing that. Keep this in mind in the future when you use this site. Who knows where they are getting their content from and how old it is.

I tried but got rejected. I think they are pretty exclusive, but if they do accept you, then you are entitled to the 7 month CD at the rates listed in this article. It's almost as if they don't want people to know about this CD though...maybe cause the rates are double the current national average for CD rates. I dunno, just a hunch :) Has anyone opened their 7 month tiered Certificate of Deposit yet? I tried but got rejected.

You can find verify this by clicking their NCUA Member logo on the bottom right of any of their pages. Here is what I found on the NCUA website... The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is the federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions and insures savings in federal and most state-chartered credit unions across the country through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), a federal fund backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.
