Washington Mutual has raised the rate on its 12 month CD to 4.50% APY, making it the top certificate of deposit (CD) rate on the BestCashCow rate table. In addition, they are offering an 8 month cd for 4.25% APY.
The minimum deposit on these accounts is relatively low at $1,000.
Washington Mutual's balance sheet has suffered enormously as a result of the credit crunch. As a result, like with any bank, I recommend you stay with FDIC limits when opening an account.

amy. . .this interest has to be doing better than old mbna account rates now. . .once b of a took over, interest only went one direction. $1,000 minimum deposit 3.75 might not be bad for you.
