American Express CD & Savings

Bank CD Rates — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:42:00 +0000

American Express is known for charge cards and credit cards. But the bank has two products that can help you build up your savings. The bank’s high-yield savings account currently has a 1.85% annual percentage rate (APY) and its 24-month CD rate is 2.35% APY. Other CD terms are also available.

You don’t need to have an American Express credit card to open a high-yield savings account or certificate of deposit. Accounts can be opened online or by phone. Other details of the high-yield savings account include:

No minimum deposit required
Interest is compounded daily and credit to account monthly
Interest begin accruing on the business day the deposit is received
No fees for electronic transfers
Savings is FDIC insured up to $250,000 per depositor

Details of the certificate of deposit offer include:

CD rates can change at any time without notice
No minimum to open account
No additional deposits before maturity date
Penalty for early withdrawal of principal
Interest can be withdrawn

Once the CD matures you’ll have a 10-day grace period to withdraw the money, renew it at current CD rates, or transfer the money to a high-yield savings account. Statements will be sent online or by mail each month.

American Express certificates of deposit and high-yield savings accounts can be opened as individual or joint accounts, but not trust accounts.

OneWest Bank

Bank CD Rates — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:26:15 +0000

OneWest Bank has competitive CD rates that include 2.4% annual percentage yield (APY) for two years and 3.4% APY for five years if you open an account online. Other online CD rates at the bank include:

1.3% APY for three months
1.8% APY for nine months
2.1% APY for one year
2.8% APY for three years
2.9% APY for four years

To open a certificate of deposit you need a minimum opening deposit of $5,000. Interest is fixed and is compounded daily and paid or reinvested into the CD account monthly or at maturity. Certificates of deposit renew automatically at the current rate available for the same term. The CD rate you receive also will be based upon the account balance.

There is a seven-day grace period beginning the day after maturity during which you can withdraw or transfer funds to another account. You’ll pay a penalty for withdrawing money early. For example, if you withdraw money early from a CD that has a term of one year or longer, the penalty would be six months of simple interest at the rate being paid on the amount that is withdrawn.

OneWest Bank also has an online Raise Your Rate CD that allows you to request a rate increase once during the term. The maturity date will remain the same after the CD rate increase.
