What to compare when shopping for a CD in Hawaii
To find the best APYs in Hawaii, start with credit unions and online-only banks: Hawaii has 35 credit unions in our database, and they consistently offer some of the highest yields because they have lower overhead than traditional banks and compete aggressively for deposits.
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.
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.

20.5% of residents are 65 or older, above the national average of 17.3%, making fixed-rate CDs a particularly relevant savings vehicle in this market. At today’s HI 12-month CD average of 2.765%, saving 10% of the local median salary ($4,818/year) and putting it in a CD would earn an additional $133 annually in interest.

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a deposit account that holds a fixed sum of money for a fixed term, commonly three months to five years, in exchange for a guaranteed interest rate. In return for leaving the money untouched until the term ends, a saver in Hawaii typically earns a higher rate than a standard savings account pays. CDs from banks are insured by the FDIC and those from credit unions by the NCUA, in Hawaii as everywhere in the U.S.
The term is the length of time the money is committed before the CD matures. Shorter terms such as three or six months give Hawaii savers easier access to their funds. For example, Maui County Federal Credit Union is offering its Share Certificates - 6-month at 4.25% APY. Longer terms such as three or five years usually pay higher rates. On the longer end, CU Hawaii Federal Credit Union is offering its 60 Month Certificates at 4.50% APY. When a CD matures, the depositor can withdraw the principal and interest or roll the balance into a new term, so it helps to match the term to when the money will actually be needed.
CDs are among the lowest-risk savings products available because the rate is fixed for the full term and the balance is federally insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per institution, per ownership category. For a Hawaii saver, the main trade-off is liquidity: withdrawing funds before maturity usually triggers an early-withdrawal penalty, often 30 to 180 days of interest depending on the term.
Interest on a CD is calculated using the annual percentage yield (APY), which reflects the effect of compounding over a year. Depending on the institution, interest may be credited monthly, quarterly, or at maturity, and can be paid out to a linked account or added back to the CD to compound. When comparing the Hawaii CDs listed above, a saver gets the truest picture of total earnings by looking at APY rather than the nominal rate.
Most CDs carry a fixed rate that is locked for the entire term, protecting a Hawaii depositor if market rates fall after the account is opened. Some institutions offer variable-rate or bump-up CDs whose rate can change during the term; these may start lower but allow the rate to rise if conditions improve. Which is better depends on the direction a saver expects rates to move.
