Reply to comment by nrj3697 in Why dont people talk about Tbills, Bonds, and CD's anymore? I remember my grandmother who was an accountant had tons of paper bonds for me when i turned 18. by [deleted]

We use Merrill for our brokerage so I'll have him check. We use Ally for our CDs. I remember back in the day when I worked at a bank you could get 8% for CDs. I worked in the IRA department and had to pull paper files sometimes and there were customers who had at one point had CDs at like 13%.
