THE CD RATES on the one year at least are wrong. rates have been lowered
Fix
I have almost $ 200000 in save better and don’t see aproblem
the deposits are acually held in some trust account
the only problem i see is – since they are held in a trust account FDIC only cover up to $250000 combined not by individual banks
Can you comment on this SAVE BETTER platform? It’s fairly new here and all these fringe banks are using it. I did a few hours of research and it appears safe but it seems odd to pool your money like this and have no bank account or routing number. Some have commented that it is possible there could be fraud issues going forward. These outfits should provide rates DIRECTLY like the big boys do. Most of the stuff I have read indicates “it should be safe”which is hardly reassuring. You should have a separate list of banks that provide high rates directly to the consumer. Sam Banman-Fried lost 94% in a day and defrauded people after Hollywood types all endorsed. I don’t want to be next to lose money on “safe investments.”
Thanks Steve. We added to our list.

Live Oak Bank got their rates adjusted upwards very quickly after the Fed .5% move yesterday, and they look quite nice …
Thank you for your input, rj! The rates have been updated.
Danny, Hustler Fam, – FYI Langley FCU is now 19 mo cert to earn 1.25%
12 mo. now .60%
The Langley FCU promotional CD rate is only available to members in certain states, although membership in the credit union itself seems to be nationwide.
Charles Schwab is offering cash to open an account. They have cd’s
Hi Jackwolk,
Thank you for being a reader! As of current, I am not aware of any banks that offer an incentive for opening a CD – it’s typically uncommon to see a cash offer for opening a CD.
However, you can find our list of bank bonuses at https://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/best-bank-promotions/
And an extensive list of CD account promotions at https://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/best-cd-rates/
Danny, can you tell me about banks that are offering cash for opening cds land opening an IRA?
Its April 9, 2019. Your rates are way off base as of this date.
