Countrywide Bank

Posted on: 05th Feb, 2008 11:13 am
I am contemplating to start a High-yield, Moneymarket account with Countrywide Bank, FSB (they offer the highest yield and acceptable terms)
Now, in light of recent developments (Countrywide being in trouble due to the Sub-prime debacle, stock price plunge and talks of Countrywide going under) how good of an idea this might be? The account will be FDIC insured, but I do not want to be involved in a Bankruptcy and wait to get my money back for a long time!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Simon
hi sd,

as much as i've heard, countywide's filing bankruptcy is nothing but a rumour. earlier in january, bank of america was expected to take over countywide. so, hopefully, you won't have problems going for a money market account with the bank.

since the account is fdic insured, you are likely to get back your money should there be any trouble in future.

Hi Simon,

I agree with Alex that as the account is FDIC insured, you should not have much problem. I think Countrywide bank is not in very bad condition.

Thanks.
