Banks Paying 3% or Higher on Certificates of Deposit
If you are looking for a bank paying at least 3% on your CD, you will have to pick a CD term of 7-years, 8-years, 10-years, 15-years or 20-years to find that rate. This is locking-up your money for quite a while, but your principal is guaranteed by the FDIC. You also have the advantage that if you need to get your money out early, you pay a set penalty instead of selling your CD to the market with the risk that higher interest rates will make it less valuable. Your greater risk in owning a long term CD is that inflation will erode your interest earnings, as the dollar buys less.
The decision to buy a long term CD is probably best made when you are laddering CDs and spreading out your interest rates risk. Placing some funds in high yielding long term CDs can help boost your CD portfolio income. Today’s CD rate leaders are listed below:
