CIT is a subsidy of First Citizen Bank.
Awful , awful reviews

We've been with Ally for 10 years and never had a single complaint about them. Customer service is available 24/7 and everyone speaks intelligible English.
Just buy them directly from Treasury. The Treasury Direct website won't win any awards for user friendliness, but it's not difficult to set up an account, the search function is very good for finding answers and it's a full service website. And of course there are a zillion resources available on the Internet.

I spoke to Fidelity about buying T-bills or bonds through them and my recollection is that there are two ways to do it, one involves fees and one doesn't. I figured for the same effort it would take to fully understand the difference, I could probably figure out the Treasury Direct site and I was correct about that.

The idea is to balance risk and get a better return than what my bank offer. UST Direct accomplish that with one stop shopping. You get a better rate and don't have to spend ungodly amounts of time chasing rates at unknown banks all over the country.

CIT has this too. It's called Platinum Savings.

How do you withdraw money from the no-penalty cd before it matures? I don't see any option. Do you have to call the customer service? Thanks

CIT has by far the worst app. Looks like some entry level sw engineers developed the gui. Fingerprint never works. Ally app is much much better.

I opened an account and called them, it was pretty nice, the person was very friendly and helped me setting up the account.
Solid bank.

Just an FYI, Fed will not let the banks fail. This will not happen your money is safe

Yep such bs. I called and asked if they could just give me the higher rate and they said I would have to close my 4.8% account and open a new 4.9% account. Probably not worth the hassle though, I mean how much extra $$ would you get with 10k? Like 10 bucks I would estimate? The rep sounded like she was getting these questions all day and was getting cursed out. The only option is to close the account and make another.

$9 over a 12 month period. Yeah, at your amount it doesn't matter.

Source: https://www.axosbank.com/Tools/Ca...Calculator (change the APY to 4.8 and 4.9 to see the difference. Change the monthly deposit amount to $0).
