AmTrust Bank CD Rates AmTrust Bank has 69 branches in Arizona, Florida and Ohio and has a nationwide online business also.  Best CD Rates Info decided to take a look at AmTrust Bank CD rates to see how they measure up to the competition.  We found a few rates worth considering.

First National Bank is advertising two competitive CD rates: a 4.50% APY 24-month CD and a 4.25% APY 12-month CD. Both have a minimum deposit of $1,000. In addition to Dallas and Houston, the bank has branches in most of the major cities of Texas including Fort Worth, El Paso, Austin, San Antonio and Corpus Christi.

1st Source Bank has some competitive long-term CD rates. These yields include a 4.45% APY for a 2-year term, a 4.80% APY for terms of 3, 4 and 5 years, and a 5.00% APY for a 6-year term. The 2-year term has a $5,000 minimum deposit. All the other terms have a $500 minimum. These are also available in an IRA.

Virtual Bank has recently increased the rates on its eCDs and its eMoney Market. VirtualBank now offers both Regular CDs and these eCDs. The eCDs have rates up to 15 basis points higher than the Regular CDs. The most competitive CD rates are for terms of 2 years and under.
