How Ally Bank rates compare with top-yielding banks
Ally’s CD rates are competitive. One drawback is that Ally has slightly fewer options for long-term CDs than some other banks, but you can still easily establish a CD ladder.
There are some other banks, like Marcus by Goldman Sachs or Limelight Bank that offer higher rates on some CD terms. Remember that some banks may have minimum deposit requirements, which Ally does not.
Other savings options at Ally
Ally offers a great online savings account if you need more flexibility with your savings. In fact, the savings account pays the same (or better) interest rate than some of Ally’s CD terms.
Ally also offers a money market account, but it pays half the rate that the bank’s savings account does.
