Enterprise Bank of South Carolina has two pretty substantial offers on their promotional CD (certificate of deposit) products.
As of August 10, 2009, Enterprise Bank is offering a 15 month promotional CD yielding 2.50% APY as well as a 27 month promotional CD yielding 3.25% APY. The national average for 12 month CDs sits at roughly 1.70% APY and the national average for 24 month CDs sits at roughly 2.05% APY (to put these promotional products in perspective).
Surprisingly enough they do not mention any sort of minimum deposit amount associated with their CD products on their rates page, however, I would venture to guess it’s between $500 and $1000. If you have experience with this bank and know what the minimum deposit requirements are, please share by leaving a comment.
Although Enterprise Bank has online banking options, you cannot open these certificate of deposits online, therefor it may be difficult to invest in one of these if you reside outside of South Carolina.
They have branch locations and ATMs in the following cities: Bamberg, Barnwell, Blackville, Cottageville, Denmark, Edisto Island, Ehrhardt, Ridgeville, Springfield, Walterboro, and Williston.
