Comparing Bank And Credit Union Rates

While credit unions often offer promotional share certificates with rates well above what you can find at your local bank, they frequently offer higher rates on ordinary share certificates as well. You can compare top rates between banks and credit unions at the new site FINANCEALLSTARS.COM. A list of the best cd rates currently available to all from both banks and credit unions is listed there on the Top Yielding Certificate Accounts Available Nationwide thread. You'll notice that some of the best rates come from credit unions. Even in categories where banks do have higher rates, you'll often see competitive offerings from a credit union, sometimes with a lower deposit requirement. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. Feel free to post any high rate cds that are available to anyone from both banks and credit unions there. As always you can leave comments on any credit union deals you've come across here on Credituniondeals.com on my Hot Tips Link.
