About our review board
Greg McBride, CFA

Updated February 26, 2024

Certificates of deposit (CDs) can be an ideal account to allocate some of your
savings, especially if you’re looking for a fixed APY. Bankrate’s list of
top-yielding CD rates are much higher than today's national average yield of
1.73 percent for a one-year CD. Read more

Bankrate provides you with timely news and rate information on top yielding CDs
for some of the most popular, and largest, FDIC-insured banks and NCUA-insured
credit unions. This way you don’t have to spend time searching many bank and
credit union websites. Since 1976, Bankrate has been a trusted source of banking
information to help you make well-informed decisions on your finances.

Show me:

The following accounts can be found at most banks and credit unions. They’re
federally insured for up to $250,000 and offer a safe place to put your money
while earning interest.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD)

CDs are best for individuals looking for a guaranteed rate of return that’s
typically higher than a savings account. In exchange for a higher rate, funds
are tied up for a set period of time and early withdrawal penalties may apply.

CHECKING ACCOUNT

Checking accounts are best for individuals who want to keep their money safe
while still having easy, day-to-day access to their funds. ATM and other
transactional fees may apply.

SAVINGS / MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS (MMA)

Savings and MMAs are good options for individuals looking to save for
shorter-term goals. They’re a safe way to separate your savings from everyday
cash, but may require larger minimum balances and have transfer limitations.

But its standard rates are well below the national average for one-year CDs.
You’ll need at least $1,000 to open a Chase CD. Read full review

rates are not competitive, the relationship rates are on a few select
terms.

* The Chase one-year CD has a yield that’s much lower than the national
average.
* You’ll need an eligible Chase checking account to earn a competitive APY
on a Chase one-year CD.
* You need $1,000 to open a Chase CD, which is more than the minimum at some
other banks.

RECENT NEWS ON CD RATES

At its last meeting on Jan. 31, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady
and projected there could be multiple rate cuts in 2024. The Fed’s Federal Open
Market Committee kept its key benchmark, the federal funds rate (which
determines how much banks borrow and lend their reserves to each other
overnight), at a target range of 5.25 to 5.5 percent.

Although it’s a bad time to borrow money at these rates, it’s a great time to
save as interest rates on savings accounts are at their highest in 22 years. And
even though rates remain steady, now is still a good time to consider long-term
CDs after the Fed raised rates 11 times since March 2022.

The Fed’s next scheduled announcement regarding interest rates is March 20.

> CD yields have peaked. Whether your time horizon is measured in months or
> years, think about locking in current CD yields. — Greg McBride, CFA |
> Bankrate chief financial analyst

WHERE ARE CD RATES HEADED IN 2024?

CD rates are likely to maintain their current levels or slightly dip headed into
March. Yields are likely to start decreasing months before the Fed begins
lowering rates.

Currently, shorter-term CDs – with terms of six months to 18 months – generally
have higher yields than longer-term CDs. But those longer-term CD yields could
be peaking soon, if they haven’t already. So locking one in now could be a good
decision for long-term money that you want to keep safe in an FDIC-insured bank.

However, most CDs have significant early withdrawal penalties, so consider these
when deciding on an account and term.

NATIONAL AVERAGE INTEREST RATES FOR CDS

The national average of CD interest rates suggests that shorter term CDs have
higher yields than longer-term CDs. With the Fed having raised rates 11 times
since March 2022, what goes up might eventually come down. So, getting a
long-term CD now could make sense if the Fed lowers rates in the future.

Researching average interest rates provides insight into the CD rate environment
and can help in finding a CD with a yield that's much higher than average.

Here are the current average rates as of Feb. 29, 2024, according to Bankrate's
most recent survey of institutions:

* HOW BANKRATE CALCULATES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE

Caret Down

Bankrate calculates and reports the national average APYs for various CD
terms. Factored into national average rates are the competitive APYs commonly
offered by online banks, along with the very low rates often found at large
brick-and-mortar banks.

In June 2023, Bankrate updated its methodology that determines the national
average CD rates. For the process, more than 500 banks and credit unions are
now surveyed each week to generate the national averages. Among these
institutions are those that are broadly available and offer high yields, as
well as some of the nation’s largest banks.

CURRENT PROMOTIONAL CD RATES

Some banks have promotional CD rates.There might be certain restrictions on
these CDs. For instance, you might have to bring money from outside the bank to
be eligible for this APY. Promotional CDs may renew at a different term and at a
different APY. (That APY is likely to not be known when you purchase a
promotional CD.)

Even some of the largest banks might have some featured CD rates.

These promotional CDs might not be available in certain areas. APYs for some

COMPARE TOP CD RATES TODAY BY TERM

When you open a CD, selecting a term is an important step. The term is the
length of time that the money stays stashed in the account. For example, opening
a CD with a one-year term means you’re making a commitment to the bank that
you’ll keep your money in the account for one year.

Here’s where you’ll find some of the top yielding CDs by term.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST CD FOR YOU

CDs are a good option for longer-term goals or for money that you’re comfortable
locking away for a set period of time. Follow the steps below to choose the
right CD strategy for you:

1. Determine what the money will be earmarked for. Money you may need in the
near future, such as for an emergency fund or short-term goals, usually
works better in a liquid account such as a high-yield savings account or
money market account. A no-penalty CD may also be a good place for money you
might need access to before the CD matures.
2. Figure out when you’ll need the money in the CD and pick a term that aligns
with your savings goals. Terms can range from just a few months to several
years.
3. Decide whether you prefer a fixed or variable APY. (If you think the Fed has
raised rates so many times that rates will decrease in the future, you might
want a CD with a fixed APY instead of a savings account with a variable
APY.)
4. Shop around and compare rates. Research banks and credit unions to find the
best rates as well as a minimum opening deposit that’s in line with the
amount you plan to put in the CD. Generally, rates are highest at online
banks, but it’s possible for a brick-and-mortar bank or a credit union to
offer a competitive yield.

TYPES OF CDS

Banks and credit unions offer a wide range of CDs to fit different financial
needs. Take some time to consider which type of CD is best for you.

Traditional CDs No-penalty CDs Bump-up CDs Caret Down
* Traditional CDs
* No-penalty CDs
* Bump-up CDs

Traditional CDs are the most common type of CD, and they earn a fixed APY for
the entire term. These CDs usually don’t allow you to add more funds after your
opening deposit, and they also tend to have strict early withdrawal penalties.

If you withdraw from a CD before it matures, the penalty is usually equal to the
amount of interest earned during a certain period of time. For instance, a bank
may impose a penalty of 90 days of simple interest on a one-year CD if you
withdraw from that CD before the year is up.

When this CD makes sense: Traditional CDs are a good choice if you know exactly
when you’ll need the money and there’s no chance of needing it before the term
is up. They’re often good for CD ladders or other CD investing strategies in
which timing is important.

Most CDs charge you a penalty for accessing the funds before the term is up.
However, some banks offer no-penalty CDs — also known as liquid CDs — which
allow you to withdraw the money early without being charged a penalty.

A bank may require that you wait at least some time after opening a no-penalty
CD — generally around six or seven days — before you’re able to withdraw from
the CD, and some banks don’t allow for partial withdrawals. No-penalty CD rates
tend to be lower than regular CD rates, but they can be better than some
high-yield savings account or money market account rates.

When this CD makes sense: Consider a no-penalty CD if you don’t plan to withdraw
the money before the CD matures, but you want to keep some flexibility in case
you need access to the funds. As a result, you’re willing to give up a little
return for added liquidity.

Bump-up CDs enable you to request an increase in your rate during the CD term
under certain conditions. Banks that offer this CD usually allow just one
bump-up per term. For example, you may open a three-year CD at a given rate, and
the bank offers an additional half-point rate increase when you’re one year into
the term. With a bump-up CD, you can request a rate increase for the remainder
of the term. Like no-penalty CDs, bump-up CDs often pay lower rates than
traditional CDs.

When this CD makes sense: A bump-up CD could be a good option if rates are
expected to rise significantly during the term of the CD. Otherwise, you’re
likely accepting a lower rate for limited potential upside.

HOW DOES A CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT WORK?

A CD is a type of account offered by banks and credit unions that generally
earns a fixed APY for the CD’s term. Regular CDs also generally have early
withdrawal penalties if you make a withdrawal before the CD term ends.

WHO SHOULD GET A CD?

Savers looking for a low-risk place to earn a guaranteed rate of return should
consider getting a CD. They can be a good choice for short- to medium-term
goals, such as saving for a new car or for a down payment on a home.

A CD is worth considering for the following people:

Invest Rate
Low-risk investors

For a person looking to make a purchase in a set number of years, a CD could be
a great option for earning a competitive rate of interest leading up to that
time.

Clock Wait
Time specific goal-setters

For a person looking to make a purchase in a set number of months or years, a CD
could be a great option for earning a competitive rate of interest leading up to
that time.

Lock Secure
Impulse spenders

A CD can help keep you from spending your money on a whim, thanks to its early
withdrawal penalty.

PROS AND CONS OF CDS

Before you choose a CD, weigh the pros and cons to ensure you're making the
right investment choice for your financial situation.

PROS

* Checkmark

Some CDs earn a higher APY than money market accounts or savings accounts.

* Checkmark

CDs are a good place to store funds that you don’t want to be able to dip
into too easily.

* Checkmark

CDs can help you separate money for financial goals or future expenses.

* Checkmark

Deposit insurance covers accounts at FDIC banks and NCUA credit unions up to
at least $250,000.

* Checkmark

A CD can diversify your savings plan with a guaranteed rate.

* Checkmark

Your principal remains intact if you keep your money in a CD for the full
term.

CONS

* CDs tie up your money for a potentially long period of time.

* Many CDs have early withdrawal penalties.

* Money committed to a CD could end up earning a lackluster yield if rates rise
substantially. The early withdrawal penalty may negate any benefit of
switching to a higher-yielding CD, however.

* You could potentially earn better rates of return in the stock market or by
investing in other securities.

ALTERNATIVES TO CDS

CDS VS. TRADITIONAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

Savings and money market accounts are more liquid than CDs, meaning the funds
you keep in those types of accounts are easier to access without penalties or
limitations. This makes savings accounts better for your emergency fund. You
could withdraw the savings you’ve placed in a CD, but be prepared to pay a
penalty if you take the money out before the CD’s maturity date (unless you’ve
purchased a no-penalty CD).

CDS VS. HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

CDs generally have an early withdrawal penalty if you withdraw your money before
the CD matures. CDs generally have fixed APYs.

A high-yield savings account is a liquid account that allows you to withdraw
money without a fee and savings accounts generally have variable APYs.

CDS VS. MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS

CDs have set terms and generally also have early withdrawal penalties if you
withdraw your money before that term ends.

Money market accounts, like savings accounts, generally have variable APYs. But
unlike most savings accounts, they might have check-writing privileges – which
let you write checks from this account.

In exchange for less liquidity, however, CDs typically offer a higher interest
rate than money market accounts.

CDS VS. BONDS

CDs typically pay a fixed interest rate, so you know how much you’re earning up
front. You’re also guaranteed to receive the same interest rate for the entire
term and receive your full principal amount back, as long as you don’t make any
premature withdrawals.

On the other hand, bonds offer more flexibility and the chance to earn a higher
yield. A bond is a loan you make to a government or a corporation to receive
some interest. You can sell a bond before it matures without getting hit with an
early withdrawal penalty, and you may get back more or less than your original
investment if interest rates have moved. With municipal bonds, the interest you
earn is often exempt from taxes.

There are many different types of bonds, and some are riskier than others. Bonds
aren’t protected by FDIC or NCUSIF insurance like CDs are, and the value of your
bonds will fluctuate based on what’s happening with interest rates. If interest
rates are rising, the price of your bonds will likely fall and vice versa.

HOW TO BUILD A CD LADDER

CD laddering staggers the maturity dates on your CDs. This strategy involves
buying multiple CDs at once that mature at different dates. It’s a way to spread
out when the money becomes available and to keep from having all of your money
stuck in a long-term CD if rates rise.

In the current rate environment, purchasing a 3-year CD now could potentially
help you earn a yield that might not be available if the Fed lowers rates.

CD laddering can also shield you from interest rate changes that could otherwise
hurt you. If rates are rising, you’ll be able to take advantage of higher yields
the next time one of your laddered CDs matures. On the other hand, if interest
rates are falling, you’ll be glad you locked up your savings when the bank was
paying more favorable yields.

Consider keeping your CD ladder focused on CDs with shorter-term maturities
during a rising rate environment so you can more quickly take advantage of
higher rates. Conversely, committing to CDs with longer terms makes more sense
when rates are decreasing because it enables you to continue earning higher CD
yields than the market currently offers.

* EXAMPLE OF A CD LADDER

Caret Down

For example, a CD laddering plan of three CDs might have a one-year CD, a
two-year CD and a three-year CD. If you have $15,000 to invest, you could
invest $5,000 in each rung:

* $5,000 in a one-year CD
* $5,000 in a two-year CD
* $5,000 in a three-year CD
* $5,000 in a four-year CD
* $5,000 in a five-year CD

For example, a CD laddering plan of three CDs might have a one-year CD, a
two-year CD and a three-year CD. If you have $15,000 to invest, you could
invest $5,000 in each rung:

* $5,000 in a one-year CD
* $5,000 in a two-year CD
* $5,000 in a three-year CD
* $5,000 in a four-year CD
* $5,000 in a five-year CD

CD FAQS

* HOW ARE CDS TAXED?

Caret Down

Generally, you’ll receive a Form 1099-INT each year if you earn more than $10
interest, if there is withholding or if there is a penalty. This will
generally be taxed as ordinary income, according to the IRS.

For instance, a CD customer with a multi-year CD should receive a 1099-INT
from their bank after each year interest is earned if at least $10 of
interest was earned during a calendar year.

* ARE CDS SAFE?

Caret Down

Your CD is safe at either an FDIC-insured bank or an NCUSIF-insured credit
union, as long as the amount of money in the account is within the
established limits and guidelines. Federally insured deposit accounts are
safe whether they’re at online banks, brick-and-mortar banks or credit unions
since they’re backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
Just make sure you’re not exceeding the insurance limits.

For federally-insured banks and credit unions, the standard insurance limit
is $250,000 per depositor or share owner, per insured bank or credit union,
for each account ownership category.

* ARE THERE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH CDS?

Caret Down

CDs generally have an early withdrawal penalty for taking your money out
before the CD matures. No-penalty CDs are the exception, though they may also
impose a penalty if the funds are withdrawn during the first six or seven
days after the account is opened.

* WHAT IS CONSIDERED A GOOD CD RATE?

Caret Down

A good CD rate depends on a few factors, but the true answer depends on your
personal financial situation. If you need to access your money in a year, for
example, your best CD options will be those with a one-year term or less. If
you’re able to lock up your money for longer, you may be able to achieve a
higher yield with a longer-term CD. In general, longer terms may pay better
yields.

Knowing for sure that you won’t need your cash for a specific amount of time
also typically allows you to earn a higher rate. The bank is willing to pay
you more for the certainty that your money will remain in its hands for the
designated length of time.

Compare CD rates to the national average to make sure you’re getting a
competitive return. For example, the national average APY for 1-year CDs is
1.73 percent as of Feb. 29, 2024, while some top-yielding banks are currently
offering APYs higher than 5 percent.

* IS AN ONLINE BANK THE BEST CHOICE FOR A CD?

Caret Down

Online banks tend to offer higher APYs than brick-and-mortar banks. These
online-only institutions typically have lower overhead costs and are able to
pass the savings along to their customers in the form of higher rates. In
addition, unlike your bank located on the corner of Main Street, online banks
may need a higher APY to get your attention and earn your business.

* HOW LONG CAN YOU LEAVE MONEY IN A CD?

Caret Down

You can keep your money in a CD and let it renew over and over. CDs generally
automatically renew. However, unclaimed CDs can be escheated — or transferred
from an estate to the government — subject to each state’s laws. To avoid
your CD being escheated due to being considered abandoned property, be sure
to keep in touch with your bank and keep a valid mailing address on file.

* DO CDS HAVE BENEFICIARIES?

Caret Down

Banks give account holders with CDs the opportunity to name a beneficiary,
which is a person who will inherit your savings in the event that you die.
While naming a beneficiary for your CD may be the last thing on your mind,
experts say it’s an important step to take.

If you don’t have a beneficiary designated to receive the funds in your CD,
your savings will go through probate, which is the court process for deciding
what happens to the property of an individual after their death.

* CAN YOU LOSE MONEY ON A CD?

Caret Down

As long as your CD is at an FDIC-insured bank or an NCUA credit union and
it’s within insurance limits and guidelines, you won’t lose money with a CD.
You may lose some of your interest — and potentially some of your principal —
by making an early withdrawal, however.
