I am not sure if this is for all of their branches.  I see it on a site that has the Dallas address.  Their main site (see above "Info on CD's) says you have to have a $1,000 minimum opening requirement, and this one says $2,500.  So... something is different.

When we started looking at CD's, Susan Winters from the Sugarland location (where Jenny Gortney is located - RE: Janell Zeug), offered to call the Webster location to get the managers name if we wanted.  She also had a gentleman named Paul Curran contact Kiki.  Kiki never returned his phone call, due to "too much on my plate".

Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® (CDARS)

Protect your investments with Central Bank Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® (CDARS®). This service provides access to security and peace of mind for accounts which exceed $250,000. We handle everything through our bank, breaking your large deposit into smaller amounts and placing it with other banks that belong to a special network. Then, those member banks issue CDs in amounts below $250,000, so that your entire investment is eligible for FDIC insurance. You earn one rate on your entire investment and receive one regular account statement listing all of your CDs. Now, you can invest up to $50 million and be eligible for FDIC insurance on every dollar.

- CD's are offered by Banks.

- Shared Certificates are offered by Credit Unions. 

Rules for CD's / Shared Certificates (with $200,000): 
1) Try to get one CD at the longest term with 4% or higher = $70,000.

2) Try to get one CD at the highest yield = $70,000.
3) 
Try to get one CD at the second highest yield, which should mature at a different time than the highest yield = $60,000 (However, if you can find one at the same highest yield with a different maturation rate, this would be better.
4) The more equal the amount of money is which you stagger (10/10/10/10), the better your chance that you will get something useful.
5) You try to catch the peaks by having money available more often.

6) Since you are betting on peaks, it makes more sense to have equal shares.

7) You want to try to get in a place where a lot of money is at a low.

Credit Score (Kiki) was at 724 when we first put the CD's in place [get this date].  Note: 700 is good; 860 is high.  There was a late payment by 30 days, to Exxon/Mobil, in 2017.  Ask if it can be dropped/removed from credit report.  It may fall off on its own in 2 years.
