The Best CD Rates Around|Best Cds For The Novice Investor

By Cornelius Nunev


You are not going to get prosperous investing in CDs, but you could do a lot worse. The primary cause of this is low interest rates. Still, here are the very best CDs accessible today, based largely upon best yield.

Greatest certificates of deposit No. 1 - Ally Bank

Ally was voted by Money Magazine as the best online bank, in part due to the good CDs. With a 5 year CD, you can get a 1.59 percent APY, which is great. On top of that, you can 0.94 percent APY on a one year CD with no minimum required to open the account.

Second is Nationwide Bank

The CD goods at Nationwide are pretty amazing. In fact, you can get 1 percent APY on a one-year CD with no minimum deposit. You can get better rates with a 5-year CD at 1.80 APY. Anything over $100,000 gets an even better deal.

OneWest Bank is a great choice

Without interest compounded every day at OneWest, you can get a great deal. A one-year CD gets 1 percent APY while a five year gets 1.60 percent APY, though a $1,000 minimum is required.

Next could possibly be Bank of Internet USA

While not quite as well known as the other banks on this list, Bank of Internet USA has highly competitive rates due to low overhead. Its 1-year cd has 0.80 percent APY with a $1,000 minimum opening. If you can wait for five years before your CD matures, then the APY will turn into 1.60 APY. In both cases, interest is compounded daily for maximum return.

Head to EverBank

Opening a CD will cost $1,500 for somebody at EverBank, but the bank has some of the best consumer service in the industry. The bank offers 0.81 APY on one year CDs and 1.65 APY on five year plans.
