New Bank Verified institutions
Andrews Federal Credit Union - Kasasa Cash Checking up to 5.25% APY on the first $25,000 with activity requirements; Mission
Savings up to 5.00% on the first $5,000. Its public disclosure omits an effective date, so observations are UNDATED, not presented as freshly effective. The conflicting featured certificate term is quarantined.
Langley Federal Credit Union - 14-month promotional certificate at 4.15% APY, official effective date October 1, 2026, for qualifying new money/new members. Langley Saves advertises 5.00% on the first $500; this separate savings schedule has no explicit effective date, so it is UNDATED.
CommunityWide Federal Credit Union - CW HiRate Savings at 3.00% APY on its official August 18 schedule. This is STALE, not a current-rate claim. Its 4.15% certificate teaser is excluded because no exact term was verified.

Freshness and comparability safeguards

Collection health & monetization
Source collection coverage
58 institution-level official source URLs were checked for reachability, with full numerical disclosures independently recaptured for
12 institutions. Not every known URL/product was re-extracted. Prior observations at the remaining institutions retain their original last-checked date. A source reachability check is never treated as rate verification.
Official-source fetch failures (rates retained only as prior observations):
Axos Bank | Bread Savings | Connexus Credit Union
Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) | First Internet Bank | Foundation Bank (Tennessee)
GO2bank | Poppy Bank | Rising Bank
Quarantined discoveries
The Discovery Queue contains 16 unresolved items, including Andrews special-certificate term conflicts and inconsistent numerical
APY/interest-rate fields, CommunityWide certificates without a verified term, and unverified candidate institutions. None of these candidate rates is published as Bank Verified.
Monetization discovery
One new unconfirmed affiliate prospect was recorded: Chase checking, based solely on a comparison-site partner placement. No independently confirmed publisher application route or payout was found in this sweep. This is not an approved affiliate program.
8 existing applications needed; 0 newly confirmed programs; 0 approved monetizable products; 0 OnlineBankRates-owned tracking URLs. Competitor links and affiliate redirects are never copied into production.
