CD Matured

July 29th, 2008 at 09:45 pm

1 yr. CD matured so I closed the account and moved the funds to my 4.5% interest checking account. This is ideal in that I've decluttered one of seven accounts.

Also, in order to get a comparable interest rate in a CD, I'd have to lock it up for 18 months. Liquidity = security in these uncertain times, imo.

I love my bank and hope it's not on the close-to-failure list. I've read a few articles assuring me FDIC insurance would cover my accounts, but I'm not expecting that it would reopen under a new branch name still offering the awesome 4.5%.

    My CD matured yesterday. As I dropped off my mortgage payment at another bank, I saw it was offering 4.5% on an 11-month CD. Hmmmm....
