Pacific Transportation Federal Credit Union’s 9 month CD rate
Warning: The rates featured on this page are likely outdated. Visit our CD Rates Center for updated rates and special offers.
An outstanding 9 month CD rate was pointed out to us over the weekend by BankVibe reader Riza. Currently Pacific Transportation Federal Credit Union of Los Angeles, California is offering a 9 month CD yielding 3.0% APY for new money deposits. This is nearly double the national average for 1 year CD rates!
The 3.0% APY certificate of deposit with maturities under 2 years is a fairly elusive creature currently, usually only showing itself in smaller local credit unions and banks. If you happen to find a nationally available savings rate of above 3% with a VARIABLE INTEREST RATE odds are it’s a teaser rate. (Note that this rate is fixed.)
Certificate of deposit rates offered through Pacific Transportation Federal Credit Union:
9 month CD – 3.0% APY
3 year CD – 3.0% APY
4 year CD – 4.0% APY
5 year CD – 5.0% APY
All of these deposits come with a minimum investment amount $3k. Rates became effective March 30, 2009.
