Highest yielding CD Rates in …North America

After reviewing Evergreen bank’s foreign cd rates, I did some digging into top bank CD rates in our hemisphere and found one bank in particular yielding an astonishing 12-19%!

Capital Bank, Mexico is a Mexican Savings and Loan Association regulated by the Mexican Federal Banking Commission. Unlike the US, the Mexican government does not offer bank insurance. However, according to Capital Bank, no depositor of a Mexican bank has ever lost any principal or interest in over 75 years (Capital Bank Faq page). That being said – right now they are offering 9 month CD’s yielding 12 percent and 3 year CD’s offering 18 percent! They sweeten the pot by offering an additional 1% if you opt for the jumbo CD.

Here is a complete list of the CD rates offered by Capital Bank of Mexico:

90 day term – Certificate of Deposit

12% APR – interest payable monthly – $5,000 minimum deposit

One Year term – Certificate of Deposit

14% APR – interest payable monthly.- $20,000 minimum deposit

Two Year term – Certificate of Deposit

16% APR – interest payable monthly.- $20,000 minimum deposit

Three Year term – Certificate of Deposit

18% APR – interest payable monthly.- $20,000 minimum deposit

*Keep in mind they will add an additional 1 percent for any Jumbo CD investment.

If anyone can enlighten us into the foreign banking/investment world please do so by leaving a comment.

    Is this for real? Why don’t more people do this?

    This looks a lot like a scam Bankvibe. Don’t fall for it. The site out there has been in existence for only one year. No FDIC insurance + very high yields + no actual physical address..

    It’s certainly suspicious and I would use extreme caution. Thanks for dropping by BloggingBanks.

    When you apply online, you don’t get to choose a CD to buy. You get a call back to discuss your investment options. I didn’t call back.

    Consider the origin – Mexico, land of transparent, effective government, moral integrity, and opportunity. No legacy of corruption either…. Yeah, right!
