Umbrella Bank’s 12 Month CD Does it Again with 2.20% APY
Umbrella Direct keeps pushing the upper limit with its 12 month CD rate. On October 29th the Bank raised their 12 month CD by 0.04% putting it in the number one spot in our rate tables with a 2.10% APY. Today they have done it again, topping our charts once more with a 0.10% increase to a very impressive 2.20% APY. This new rate overtakes our second highest Amboy, which has a 2.10% APY, and unlike the $10,000 minimum deposit required to open the Amboy CD, only requires a minimum deposit of $1,000.
