which site for cd rates

[frank]

I usually check every once in a while to see where or if I can find decent cd rates. I was using bankingmyway.com for a long time, but now they have a little map on their site that shows what the different states are paying but no way to find out what institution is offering that rate. it refers you to a refine search area and you just get their paid advertisers as the top payers. anyone have a good site to see what the different banks and credit unions around the country are paying? thanks

+1, although I noticed they didn't pick up on a PenFed rate at the start of the year. I stumbled across that on my own.

I like Bauer Financial (bauerfinancial.com). They accept no advertising, and in addition to providing you with a list of institutions with the best rates, they rate the financial strength of each bank/credit union, based on the public filings.

They provide direct links to each institution if you'd like to explore further.

Since I recently opened a CD, I experimented with the links mentioned in this thread and a few others I have bookmarked to see what the best "longer" term CD I could find. The following seem to be the highest yielding results from my quick experiment:

Found only at:

I usually use bankrate.com.

5 year - 2.5% Live Oak Bank Live Oak Bank | Providing Small Business Loans to Niche Industries

Found only at:

https://www.depositaccounts.com/cd/

49-month - 2.35% NASA Federal Credit Union https://www.nasafcu.com/

This doesn't show up on some of the other sites because they have only 3 or 5 year search options. Also, I like the interface at depositacounts.com.

I opened one of these CD's at NASA FCU last week. It was easy and free to get Credit Union membership.

The live oak deal is also found at CD (Certificate of Deposit) Rates – Top 25 Highest CD Rates

This one has the NASA CU special, https://www.depositaccounts.com/blog/cd-rates-survey/
