Best CD Rates with FDIC


Google


 
Find the best (highest paying) CD rates from this survey.  This is our latest survey of the APY interest rates paid for certificates of deposit by term followed by a list of all banks and credit uninos in our database that includes but is not limited to: Citibank, BofA, Chase, Wachovia, Taunus, Wells Fargo, HSBC, US Bancorp, Suntrust, ABN, Citizens Financial, Capital One, National City, PenFed, World Savings and many more. 

You can often get higher than advertised rates at your local branch if you do your homework. Print out our "Highest CD Rate Survey" and bring it in with you. Print out some of the advertisement of rates advertised on your bank's competing web sites so you have proof.

We often get better than advertised rates if we bring in our own rate sheet survey, especially if it keeps us from taking our money from a renewing CD to another bank. It costs money to get new accounts so Banks often give you a deal if you are ready to walk out the door with a chashier's check.

Bottom line: It never hurts to ask the teller if better rates are available and do your homework!
