Honest Take

Which one fits your situation?

Marcus is a strong online CD product with no-penalty options worth using. RMO Bank CDs add member pricing, IRA CDs, and bundling.

Where RMO CDs wins

Better for member pricing + IRA CDs

  • MyRMO ladder builder. Build and manage a CD ladder from one dashboard.
  • Bundles with checking + savings. All deposit products in one membership.
