About Our Maryland CD Rate Database
MonitorBankRates tracks 614 CD rates from 31 banks and 40 credit unions with locations in Maryland, plus national online institutions available to Maryland residents. 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.
Current top rate: NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH offers a CD at 5.00% APY with a minimum deposit of $500. Use the rate table above to compare all current offers in Maryland.
How to Find the Best CD Rates in Maryland
What to compare when shopping for a CD in Maryland
To find the best APYs in Maryland, start with credit unions and online-only banks — Maryland has 40 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.
When a CD Makes Sense in Maryland
- You have a planned expense coming up and want your savings to earn while you wait
- You expect rates to fall and want to lock in today’s rate
- You want FDIC or NCUA protection with a guaranteed fixed return
- You prefer banking with an institution that has a local branch in Maryland — 71 institutions here report CD rates
Consider an Alternative If…
- You may need the funds within 30 days — compare Maryland savings rates instead
- Rates are rising and you want to benefit — a variable-rate savings or money market account keeps pace
- You want check-writing access — compare Maryland money market rates

How Certificates of Deposit Work in Maryland
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 Maryland 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 Maryland as everywhere in the U.S.
Choosing a CD Term in Maryland
The term is the length of time the money is committed before the CD matures. Shorter terms such as three or six months give Maryland savers easier access to their funds. For example, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH is offering its 6 Month Youth Saver at 5.00% APY. Longer terms such as three or five years usually pay higher rates. On the longer end, Tower Federal Credit Union is offering its 5 year Mini-Jumbo IRA Share Certificate at 4.40% 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.
CD Risk and Safety for Maryland Savers
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 Maryland 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.
How CD Interest Is Paid in Maryland
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 Maryland CDs listed above, a saver gets the truest picture of total earnings by looking at APY rather than the nominal rate.
Fixed vs. Variable CD Rates in Maryland
Most CDs carry a fixed rate that is locked for the entire term, protecting a Maryland 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.
Frequently Asked Questions about CD Rates in Maryland
Are CD rates in Maryland FDIC insured?
Yes, most established banks in Maryland are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per depositor. Credit unions carry equivalent protection through the NCUA.
Do I have to pay state taxes on CD interest in Maryland?
Yes, interest earned on CDs is generally taxable income at both the federal and state levels. We recommend consulting a local tax professional regarding your specific obligations in Maryland.
Can I withdraw my money early from a CD?
You can, but most institutions charge an Early Withdrawal Penalty — typically a number of months of interest (e.g., 3 or 6 months). The exact amount varies by institution and CD term.
What is the difference between a Jumbo CD and a regular CD?
Jumbo CDs require a higher minimum deposit — traditionally $100,000 or more. In exchange, banks in Maryland may offer slightly higher APYs compared to standard CDs.
Are fixed-rate CDs better than variable-rate CDs?
Fixed-rate CDs lock in your APY for the full term, protecting you if rates drop. Variable-rate CDs allow your rate to rise with the market but may start with a lower initial yield.
What is a CD ladder?
A CD ladder involves opening multiple CDs with staggered maturity dates — for example 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year. As each matures, you reinvest at the longest term, maximizing yield while maintaining regular access to a portion of your savings.
