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.

If I invest 200K, howlong does it take to withdraw and tranfer back to bankofamerica?
I think CIT has a huge ach withdraw limit upto 250k so it should be in a few days bank to your BOA.

Some smaller banks have only upto 30k a month withdraw limit like Bread Savings and Valley Direct is even worse at 12k a month.

Not slick…
1yr CD rates at any brokerage firm are 5.25-5.35%
1yr T-Bills are around 5.3%
And a decent Money Market fund is 5.2%+

What happens after 11 months when the CD is completed/matured? Does your interest rate then go to 0%?

Correct. Initial principle + earned interest is placed back in your account as cash.

I have been with CIT for years. They have been absolutely great to work with. Their customer service was always top when I had to call them.

Have been banking with CIT for years, no issues to report. Except for their indistinguishable name (from Citi)

I always got a letter in the mail stating I had x amount of days to do or the CD would roll over into a new CD at such and such prevailing rate. 10 days was pretty much standard at the time. Back when I had laddered CD the rates were trending down. When they got below 4% I started terminating them and investing with a stock broker. When I started with CD the rates were 11.xx percent. You probably get an email or text these days.

Quote from rookie33333 :
SOFI has 4.2% and I love their app. Everything is just... easy. I switched from Wells Fargo. Night and day difference. So yeah, I'd just recommend them if you're looking for a high yield savings account. You'll need to setup direct deposit, but (again with the easy part) Sofi has a prefilled form that you click on and email to HR.
who cares if their app or even their customer service isn't great. If you are opening a CD account, it's basically parked there until the maturity date, what would even be a reason to contact them at all unless it's to withdraw your money? Just go with a FDIC insured bank that has the highest APY Percentage.

Sofi IS an FDIC insured bank. AND CDs generally come with term limits that punish you should you need to withdraw the money. There's really no benefit to CDs at the moment.

I didn't say it isn't. I am just saying for people complaining that CIT has a bad app or customer service, it doesn't even matter that much, once you put in your money, you likely won't even contact them until you need to withdraw it.

No benefit to CDs? WTF? I would say getting around 5% interest or more on your money without lifting a finger is an incredible benefit.
