Here’s a closer look at Ally Bank’s CD rates.

Raise Your Rate CD

Ally’s Raise Your Rate CD lets you increase your interest rate, once for the 24-month CD and twice for the 48-month CD, if market rates rise during your CD’s term.

Account name	Term	APY	Minimum deposit
Raise Your Rate CD	24 months	0.55%	$0
Raise Your Rate CD	48 months	0.55%	$0

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.
