WENTZVILLE, MO (June 28, 2018) — 1st Financial Federal Credit Union hiked its Certificate of Deposit (CD) dividend rates this month. A 44-Month CD is now 2.85% APY — more than 3X times the national bank average for similar terms — offering members in the St. Louis area an opportunity to grow their money faster and improve their financial well-being.
The new rate for the special jumbo CD represents a bump of 60 basis points, and rate increases were made to a number of the credit union’s CDs with terms ranging from 3 to 60 Months.
“The majority of our members are not rate chasers — they come to 1st Financial for consistently high rates and tend to stay with us,” said Carol Minges, 1st Financial’s CEO. “We set our pricing where we believe we can sustain it so our members don’t have to keep bouncing from bank to bank to find that extra basis point.”
