It is a promotional deal to get new customers. You are issued a CD for the going rate (around 1 %) and First American Trust cuts you a check for the rest. You can only buy a 20,000 one, or less I assume, and only one per household. So you buy a 6 mo CD with 2% APY will net you 200 bucks for 20,000. I bought one...200 bucks is 200 bucks.
Don't expect to walk in and walk out. They want to show you their annuities.
