Current CD Rate Trends

The 12-Month CD fell by 0.002 this week, bringing the current average APY down to 2.834%. Savers are seeing slightly reduced yields compared to last week, when the average was 2.837%.

The 6-Month CD eased this week to 2.670% from 2.672% last week. The spread between the 12-Month CD and 6-Month CD currently stands at 0.164 percentage points.

These averages are calculated from 29,078 verified CD rate quotes collected across 3,107 banks and credit unions reporting from all 50 states — updated daily by MonitorBankRates.com's proprietary systems. Rates are what real licensed institutions are actually offering to depositors, not promotional teaser rates.

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, large institutions, and credit unions in every state. 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 where APYs actually stand across the country.
