new higher rate on 5 yr MYGA

brand new higher rate has been released for 5 year single premium deferred annuity. Current best rate available. Year one rate including bonus 6.70% years 2-5 guarantee rate 4.70 with a combined 5 yr rate of 5.09%. This is a tax deferred product so you get no 1099 form until you begin to withdraw money.

Understand that the rate is subject to change until policy is written. Rate usually change once a month but may occasionally change more often.

How does this compare to national bank CD rates. I checked Bankrate.com today and found the national overnight rate on a 5 yr CD was 4.15% and that compares to a rate of 4.16 last week. These rates are taxable rates and you get a 1099 form for this years taxes.
