There is a minimum deposit of $10,000 and a maximum deposit of $25,000. In fact, it's the best rate on a two and a three year CD also. A two percent APY is by far the highest nationally available rate on a twelve month CD when you look at the best CD rates on the BestCashCow tables. Share Plus Federal Bank in Plano, Texas is offering a 2% APY 12-month CD rate good for terms between 1-5 years. Share Plus Federal Bank Offering 2% APY 12-Month CD - Available Nationally Please let us know if this squares with any of your experiences. This is still a great deal if you live near a Share Plus branch but no longer seems to be a nationally available offer. Despite telling me they would when I called, several members of have tried to open the account and been told they must visit the branch (see comments below article). Update: It looks like Share Plus Federal Bank has decided not to open accounts from out-of area. Hopefullly, the frenzy that it inspired won't prevent them from offering other great rates in the future. Update: May 15, 2013: Share Plus contacted BestCashCow and asked that we let everyone know the promotion is over.
