iGObanking's specials on 36- and 60-month CDs are over.

The online division of Flushing Savings Bank in New York shocked everyone by raising its interest rates on 3-year and 5-year CDs by more than a point on Monday, to 1.70% APY and 2.25% APY.

That sent iGObanking soaring to the top of our standings of the best nationally available returns on those CDs.

We're sure the bank was swamped by happy savers anxious to take advantage of those rates, and this morning iGObanking lowered its returns to 1.25% APY and 1.75% APY.

That means Doral Bank Direct and Quaint Oak Bank are once again offering the best deals on those long-term certificates of deposit.

Doral Bank Direct is the online division of Doral Bank, the leading community bank in Puerto Rico, which also has five branches in northwest Florida and two in New York City.

It's paying 1.65% APY, with a $1,000 minimum deposit, on 3-year CDs.

Quaint Oak Bank, which has a single location in suburban Philadelphia, continues to offer 2.20% APY on 5-year CDs with a $500 minimum deposit.

Last weekend's rundown of all the banks offering the top 36-month CD rates is still up to date.
