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.

Quote from unknownanonymous :
To all those who have opened 4.8% no penalty CD last month and are wondering how to move the money to this new offer:
1. Open a new no-penalty CD account
2. In the funding page for this new CD account, select existing Cit bank account and point it to the older CD. It will transfer all the $ amount from older CD to new CD account
3. Money should move to the new account and old account should be with $0 balance. (Unverified as I am also waiting for this to happen)
Since CIT seem to only credit at the interest at the end of month... what will happen to the 10 days of interest say if i transfer out today on 05/10 ?
Do we lose the 10 days? or will it get credited into the transfer?

I've been laddering since we got over 4%. Trunches of $10k -$25k. Today got 5.2% 90 days. That's the longest I'm going till rate increases stop. 13 week cycles $20k comes due every week. 4.1-5.2%. If we get to long term 6% or better. I'll lock long.
I manage all my stocks, cd's, and treasuries in TD Ameritrade. All CD's auto cash on maturity so no auto-renewals to track.

UMPQUA BANK (OR)
5.2% FDIC.

Just open a high interest savings at the same % allowing you to access your money when you need it. Also my money is on interest rates continuing to rise and there are better investment opportunities with more flexibility.

Ally is offering a Money Market Savings at 4%. Works just like a savings account except you get free checks and a debit card. There are no fees.

We've been with Ally for over 10 years and have no complaints. Customer service is available 24/7 and everyone speaks intelligible English.

Some relevant information based on the account agreement document:

Earns interest
Yes.
• Earned on the entire daily balance
• Compounded daily and paid monthly


Effect of closing an account
If you close your account before the end of the term, any accrued interest will be paid on the date the account is closed.


So, it is definitely questionable that you would get the interest for the 10 days since it arguably hasn't "accrued" since it hasn't been paid yet (only paid monthly). Of course, there are multiple ways to interpret this.

Since I'm staying on the safe side, I'm letting the 4.8% ride until the end of the month when the interest is paid and seeing whether this 4.9% option is available then. The difference in interest is pretty small (especially if you factor in the 10 days in interest that you might not get if you switch now). They kept the 4.8% open for a long time, so maybe they will do the same with this 4.9%.

But if anyone has a data point for moving from the 4.8% to the 4.9% and getting all of the interim interest for May credited, please let us know.

My assumption is that they would credit 4.8% for first 10 days and then 4.9% for remaining days at end of the month.
