What bank gives you a 30 day CD at 0.75%? My bank (Bank of America) gives 0.03%.

Seems fishy to me as well. Best I could find with a few minutes of googling was a 0.22% 30 day CD, but with a minimum of $95,000 [1]. Others I could find with low deposit limits are in the 0.10% area. Most banks don't even offer 30 day CDs it looks like.

Just double checked, and OCBC (Singapore) is currently offering 1% for 12 month deposit, no 30 day preferable rates.
