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 and credit union CDs are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the FDIC or NCUA.

The ABCs of CDs

By Julie Bawden-Davis | Money Rates Columnist

Because banks generally like it when you keep a steady balance with them, certificates of deposit (CDs) encourage you to do just that: invest a sum in an account that pays you a higher interest rate in exchange for your commitment.

The term of the CD determines how long you need to keep your money in the account before you can withdraw it without a penalty. CDs exist for many different terms, though the most common range from one month to five years. Generally, the longer the the CD term, the higher the interest rate you will receive.

CDs are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per account owner for each financial institution. CDs can offer a safe place to build your savings with interest rates that will outpace most savings accounts, but to truly benefit from CDs, it's important to note their unique characteristics.

CD features

  • CDs aren't liquid. Your funds will be tied up for a specified period of time, and if you cash out early, you'll lose your interest and possibly some principal.
  • The good and bad news is that interest rates on CDs are locked in for the duration of term. This means that if interest rates drop, you continue to earn at the higher interest rate. On the other hand, if interest rates rise, you won't benefit from the rate increase.
  • The best CD rates generally come with the longest terms. While a longer-term CD can be a good purchase when you open one during a time of high interest rates, they can also cost you interest earnings if rates rise significantly during the term.
  • CDs generally have a minimum balance requirement, which varies depending on the financial institution.
  • Once your CD reaches maturity, you have a specified period of time to roll the account over into a new CD along with the earned interest, or you can withdraw the money for other purposes.
  • When and how much you can deposit to your CD during the term varies by bank.

CD rate considerations

Fixed-rate CDs are the most common type. They require that you deposit a certain amount and wait out the term with a static interest rate. But some banks offer so-called bump-up CDs, which allow users to take advantage of rising CD interest rates if they occur. The bump-up feature is usually only allowed once or twice a term, however. These accounts sometimes start at lower interest rates than fixed rate CDs, which means you could end up earning less than you anticipated if interest rates don't rise during the term.

Steps to opening an account

Make the most of your investment by keeping a few things in mind when choosing your CD:

  • Choose an account that compounds interest daily, versus monthly, quarterly or annually, as this grows your money faster. Be sure to pay close attention to interest rates on your CD, as they are the primary reason you're locking your money up.
  • Interest rates change frequently, so be sure the rate you saw in an ad or online is the one you get when you actually open the account.
  • Look for accounts that require a minimum deposit that meets your saving needs.
  • Consider laddering multiple CDs to improve liquidity. This process involves opening up a series of accounts with varying maturity dates, which can allow for more frequent withdrawals while still earning higher interest rates.

CDs can be a great way to grow your savings and reach your financial goals, particularly if you aren't earning the interest rates you want on your standard savings accounts.

Best CD rates found by users like you

Have you been able to find even better CD rates than the ones displayed above? If yes, please share them with us and other MoneyRates users! Please include the details: the name of the bank, APY, term of the CD, when you opened the account, and whether the account can be opened online or only in the branch (if the latter, please include the location of the branch). Thank you!

Checking Pentagon Federal CU website shows their 2, 3 and 7 year certificate rates are appreciably lower than you report; i.e., .99%, 1.20% and 1.50% respectively for the period 4/1-30/13.

Hi zaqxsw, Based on Doral Bank Direct's Web site the APY for the 3 year CD is 1.35% effective as of 9/9/2012. They also offer a 6 month CD earning 0.92% APY. Thank you for alerting us to the rate change, we have updated our site.

Hello S T, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have contacted OnBank for clarification regarding the availability of the 60 month CD. We will update the applicable product and rates as soon as we receive further information.

S T

OnBank is shown in the 5 year CD list, but, to quote the response i received, "OnBank is not opening new accounts at this time, therefore the product pages are not available."

If the Monument Bank listed in 5-year CDs is the one in the Maryland-DC-Virginia area, the rates are lower than shown. As of March 1, the 60-month rate was 1.30%, not 1.98%. That discrepancy makes me think this must be another bank - where?

The Cecilian Bank in Radcliff, Ky is offering great rates, and they are a 5 star Bauer rated bank. Yesterday, I got 2.30% on a 5 yr CD. They also offer 2.20 on 4 yr and 1.9% on 3 yr CDs. I opened locally, and don't know about the process through mail or online, but they have a website at www.thececilianbank.com with contact info.

3.44% with an APY of 3.50% on a 10-year FDIC insured CD with IGOBanking.Com. Hmmm...This sounds tempting; however, I am wondering if it would really be prudent to lock my $$$ in for such a long-term. I currently have two existing jumbo CD's - One with Capital One Bank that I opened in August 2008 for 5-years @ 5.12% (5.25% APY) and the other with Sovereign Bank - 5-years @ 2.96% (3.00% APY). My Capital One CD is due to mature in August 2013 & my Sovereign Bank CD will not mature 'til February 2016. I am wondering, at this rate, with the overall dismal outlook on our US economy, if the Federal Funds rate will ever be increased again. The Fed's say inflation remains subdued and under control. Well, I guess that's true if you don't eat or drive an automobile.

Previous question about Navy Credit Union -- One has to have a connection to Navy or be related to someone with a connection. That person must be a member of the Credit Union. At their website they have an extended list of who would be eligible. Don't get too excited though. The maximum deposit amount eligible for that 3% rate is $3000.

Justice Federal Credit Union announced a 7.50% APY savings rate, an astounding rate on a short term share certificate offered to Members as they wrap-up their 75th Anniversary Year. With an annual percentage yield of 7.50%, this 75 day share certificate offers one of the highest rates in the country. Justice FCU proudly serves those who serve justice, law enforcement, and homeland security across the nation. This offering is their way of saying thank you to their members for 75 years of service.

Dear Robin: I just looked up your suggestion and it is no wheres to be found.They only had 2% APY for a 5 year cd. It sure is not from their site you supposedly found this out? Do you have a link???????? I have checked this bank often and it has always had lower reates than others, consistently over the last year.

Melinda

19 November 2010 at 3:37 pm

iGOBanking makes you jump through hoops - I don't care what their rates are - we tried to open a 2 year 2.65% CD - they said we were accepted and never debited our account. Said they would guarantee the rate - but took over 2 weeks to verify our address since we hadn't lived here for more than 2 years - just not easy to do business with - we canceled the application. Not worth the hassle - if it is that onerous to open an account, what would it be to cash it in and get your $$$.

iGoBanking.com has just added a 24 month CD with 2.25% APY, minimum $1,000, which puts them at the top of your table. They are an online bank - according to their website: iGObanking.com is an online division of Flushing Savings Bank that enables consumers to open and fund deposit accounts directly from the convenience of their personal computer. I've seen them with some of the hightest rates quite frequently this year.

Well, let's face it. All of these CD rates are miserable, and really tough for us old folk who depend upon interest income to pay our bills. For me, I have put all of my CD funds into Ally Bank. I find none more accessible, easy to communicate with, and especially a terrific 2 year CD with option to bump up once to a higher rate during that period if rates should go higher. This is great for a person like me who really prefers one-year CD committments.

My wife and I had our retirement IRAs to re-invest and were not seeing rates much over 1% for a 12 month deposit and we did not want to go for 2 or more years at this time. Umpqua Bank has been around since 1928, in Oregon initially, but opened in July in Santa Rosa. Through August 31, they have a promotional CD for 13 months at 1.75% APY. This was the best we could find anywhere and we were happy to have it. A free interest-bearing checking account is included. Scott and Gioia were the staff we dealt with and they were terrific. All in all, a very pleasant and productive experience.
