IndyMac CD rates

3 Month          3.25%          3.30%
9 Month          3.92%          4.00%
10 Month        3.92%          4.00%
2 Year             4.16%          4.25%

These rates are extremely attractive when compared to the national averages and may be better than the previously mentioned OnBank offer if someone is looking for a smaller duration.
