Finding the best CD rate is one of the safest ways to grow your savings. Unlike variable accounts, a CD lets you lock in a high APY for a specific term, protecting your return from market fluctuations. We empower savers with transparent financial health metrics, including A-F Safety Grades, verified Star Ratings, and Texas Ratios, so you can choose a stable, highly-rated institution with confidence.
The Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) displayed reflect actual verified offers from top-rated institutions. Rates are subject to change at the institution’s discretion without notice and may depend on your initial funding amount. A substantial penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal, which could reduce earnings on the account. CD Rates Last Updated and Verified: October 15, 2026

MonitorBankRates monitors CD rates from 8,500+ banks and credit unions across all 50 states, spanning all eight major terms from 3 months to 60 months. The tables above surface the highest-yield offers available nationwide today from the thousands of verified rates in our database, and the state and minimum-deposit filters let you narrow the full database to offers available where you live. Our proprietary aggregation system pulls verified rate data directly from each institution’s official website, no estimates, no national averages passed off as real offers.
Every rate listed includes the institution’s Safety Grade (A+ to F), Star Rating (1–5), and Texas Ratio, objective financial health metrics calculated from FDIC and NCUA regulatory data, so you can compare yield and institutional safety in one place.

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 2.990% , 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.
