What to compare when shopping for a certificate of deposit
To find the best CD APYs, start with credit unions and online-only banks. They consistently offer the highest yields because they have lower overhead than traditional brick-and-mortar banks and compete aggressively for deposits. Use the state filter in the tables above to see how local institutions stack up against the national leaders.
Always compare the APY (Annual Percentage Yield), not just the interest rate. The APY reflects compounding and is the true measure of what you’ll earn. The current national average 12-month CD APY is 2.988% , but top institutions are offering as high as 6.14%, so shopping around pays off.
Also compare the early withdrawal penalty. Common penalties range from 30 to 180 days of interest depending on the term. If you’re unsure whether you’ll need the funds early, a no-penalty CD or a high-yield savings account may be a better fit.
