New Bank Offers

Sallie Mae lowered all of its CD rates dramatically today.   Their 6 month CD had been at 2.20% and now stands at 1.90%.   All longer rates are now either 2.30% ro 2.35%.   This marks a dramatic decline for a bank which had aimed to keep its rates competitive.   We'd be very cautious about going out beyond 15 months at this point as it is unlikely Sallie can survive should Elizabeth Warren be elected President.
