                                                               Get Outta That Hot Pot!

You know the story about the frog that becomes soup as it sits in a pot of hot water, right?  It’s a tale which illustrates how we can be unintentionally and incrementally “cooked and stewed” by simply doing the same thing we always do…like a frog that sits in a pot of hot water which is being slowly but surely brought to a boil.  Why didn’t that frog jump out before the temperature rose?  Because the threat was a slow boil that lulled him to sleep.

If this fable has any resemblance to your liquidity and funding plan, perhaps your institution should consider issuing CDs in the national marketplace.

Here are a handful of reasons CD’s may be your springboard out of that hot pot:

• Cost effective vs. local markets or other wholesale funding alternatives.
• Flexible maturities: 1 month through 30 years
• Can match funds according to your asset/liability needs or utilize for general funding requirements.
• A single certificate per maturity: operationally efficient
• Unlike FHLB Advances, no collateral is required
• No early withdrawal feature except upon death or adjudication of incompetence declared by a court of law.
• Satisfy contingency liquidity plan for internal policy or regulatory element
• Asset Liability Management: Issue longer term deposits to extend duration.  Blend term funds with current large and possibly volatile DDA balances

Your comfortable landing pad is a phone call to your CCB rep away.
