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.

Might as well go with Tbills at these rates and not pay state tax on interest earnings.

Quote from tivoboy :
There still can be volatility in the t-bill pricing over the period, sometimes significant. the CD htm will not. Well the t-bill htm will not either, but a principle returnable cd with no penalty will not. It's a bit esoteric for sure. Personally, not needing the money any higher yield guaranteed to maturity is better.
If you are worried about volatility in the t-bill..just buy the 26/52 weeks tbills lol

Quote from Selman :
If you take an early withdrawal penalty on a CD it would be a worse consequence, so that still doesn't seem to be a good reason to choose a 4.9% CD over a 5.4% T-bill.

It's a no penalty CD. So there is no consequence. Rather have 4.9% in a liquid CD than 5%+ locked in for a year.

T-bills can be sold on the secondary market so it's a false comparison to say a t-bill is illiquid. It's also disingenuous to call a CD that has major penalties for early withdrawal liquid.

Same. We've been with them since they were GMAC bank, so since 2005 or so. I don't think we will ever leave them.They are our main bank, but CDs are better elsewhere, so we haven't had any CDs with them in years.

Maybe this is a silly question, but vanguard unused cash money market is higher than this cd rate. And interest rates aren't expected to go down anytime soon so mm rate isn't getting lower. So this cd costs money in comparison. Am I missing something?

I opened a Platinum Savings account with CiT a while ago. Depositing/transferring into it was easy, 5.05% APY is nice, no complaints so far. Their android app is a little lack luster, but it gets the job done I suppose.

You can make more money in money market accounts without locking in for almost a year. These CDs at this point are nonsense

You're not. Makes no sense to put your money in a CD when it's lower than money market funds.

Can you buy them through a brokerage like Fidelity or Vanguard or is that a bad idea?

Why not buy through treasurydirect directly??
