How It Compares to the Best CD Rates

For CDs with terms around one year, it's not easy to find yields much higher than 1.35%. As of 5/12/2011, the best 1-year CD rate available nationally is 1.75% APY at Connexus Credit Union, but this requires an active checking account. The best 1-year CD rate without a checking requirement is 1.41% APY at Melrose Credit Union.

The only way to get a yield above 2.00% is to take a longer term. Ally Bank's 5-year CD has a 2.40% APY (as of 5/12/2011), and due to its small early withdrawal penalty, the effective yield if closed after one year would be 2.00% (see post).
