Certificates of Deposit (CDs) work similarly to online savings accounts<\/strong><\/a> or money market accounts<\/strong><\/a> in terms of offering great returns with zero risk. The difference is, CDs \u201clock your money up\u201d for a specified period of time. To access your funds before the term ends, you\u2019ll have to pay a penalty.<\/p>\n Although CDs offer less liquidity than a regular checking account or savings account, you might get a higher rate of return with this financial product. This is especially true if you open a CD account with a longer timeline; for example, a 60-month CD instead of a 12-month CD.<\/p>\n According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)<\/strong><\/a>, national average CD rates range from 1.33% to 1.76% depending on the CD term, as of writing.<\/p>\n However, quite a few banks offer vastly superior CD rates to consumers who do their research. We compared dozens of banks and financial institutions to find the best CD rates today.
