Mar 11, 2022

CFG has raised its online savings rate from 0.63 to 0.70% APY, making it one of only about 5 or 6 banks to over over 0.70%.

CFG Bank Raises Online Money Market Rate to 4.25% APY
Jan 23, 2023

CFG Bank Raises 1-Yr and 18-Month CDs to 5.25% APY But Products Carry an 180 Day EWP
May 11, 2023

CFG Bank has raised its 1-year and 18-month CDs to 5.25% APY today.   The rate had previously been 5.17%.

This rate now tops the respective tables.

Depositors should be aware that these products carry 180-day Early Withdrawal Penalties which would be a heavy price to pay should you need to terminate the CD before maturity.

    CFG overs very competitive Interest rates on their High Yield Savings account.
    I did everything ONLINE and have not had any issues with their service.

    30-year USAA member that consistently earned .01% interest on savings. Took son's advice and transferred funds to CFG. On $100k I earned $0.63 monthly with USAA - whereas CFG shares the wealth and I earn $400+. Satisfied customer.

    No problem with phoning the bank. It can take 5 to 10 days for the wire transfer, since CFG first makes 2 small deposits into your account to verify the Routing Number and account number YOU provide is valid. That itself can take 2 business days. Then depending on when YOU check your email and recieve a secure link from CFG, you must confirm the small amounts (2) (.28 and .87) prior too, the transfer of funding amount (10K) in my case. Easy to follow web site, just read every word, Safe and Secure.
