The Arkansas certificate of deposit rate averages displayed on this page are calculated from our database of over 8,500 banks and credit unions actively operating across the state of Arkansas. Our proprietary systems collect and verify deposit rates daily — tracking what real licensed institutions are actually offering to depositors. Every day we aggregate those individual data points into state-level averages that represent a true, real-market picture of what AR residents are being offered today.
Unlike comparison sites that show only a handful of institutions, MonitorBankRates maintains a continuously updated certificate of deposit rate database spanning community banks, regional lenders, national institutions, and credit unions across Arkansas. This scale allows us to calculate averages that reflect the full deposit landscape — not just the most aggressive advertisers — giving savers, journalists, and financial professionals a more accurate benchmark for what APYs actually look like in AR.
