At Bankrate we strive to help you make smarter financial decisions. Though our partners compensate us from links on this page, we maintain editorial integrity, and partners don't influence our product evaluations. Here's how we make money and here is our advertiser disclosure.

If you want a safe place to store your money while enjoying a bump in yield, and you just need it kept out of your own hands for nine months, a nine-month CD can work well. As with other CDs, there’s an early withdrawal penalty, which may be reason enough to keep from touching your deposits before the maturity date.

With a nine-month CD, you’ll avoid tying up your funds for an extended period of time and you may even earn a higher rate of return than you would through many savings accounts and some longer-term CDs.

In a falling interest rate environment, a short-term CD can be a smart middle ground. It gives you the chance to lock in a decent rate without committing for too long. If you don’t need your money for a few years, it’s worth locking in a multi-year CD at today’s rates. Rates will probably drop as we move into next year and beyond. Securing a good rate now might save you from missing out later.

How to find the best 9-month CD rates

Comparison shopping is key when you’re looking for the best nine-month CD rates. There are multiple types of CDs you could look into, including bump-up CDs and no-penalty CDs. But the top nine-month CD rates are usually found with traditional CDs.

  • Look online: The majority of Bankrate's best list for nine-month CDs are online-only banks and credit unions. The lower overhead costs of not having to maintain branches can translate to better rates.
  • Check local: Investigate your local credit unions and see if they have better rates available than national offerings. Because credit unions are member owned, they sometimes pass on better rates to their customers.
