Find Best CD rates

We regularly monitor rates from over 200 banks and show the highest CD rates. CD rates are fixed for the term of the CD. You may be penalized for withdrawing funds before your certificate of deposit matures. The highest CD rates usually require longer terms. Bank CDs are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor.

Td Bank Has great CD rates also 9 mth is 1.40% Minimum deposit $500 2 year is 1.50% minimum deposit $ 500 there 5 year is 4.00 % minimum deposit $ 1000.00. The best way to gain maximum interest potential is to go with a shorter term CD.
