How Capital One’s CDs compare to top-yielding banks
On July 2, Capital One significantly increased the rates on its three-year, four-year and five-year CDs. While Capital One’s CD rates are generally competitive, you can find higher rates elsewhere on both the shorter and longer terms. For example, Limelight Bank, Ally Bank and Marcus by Goldman Sachs are among the banks offering a higher payout than Capital One on a 12-month CD.
Make sure you compare CD rates at a number of banks before you make a decision on where to park your savings. After all, your goal should be to get the highest rate of return possible for the term that works with your timeline. But before locking away your money in a CD, read the fine print. Some banks require heftier deposits to open a CD, for instance.
Other savings options at Capital One
With the Capital One 360 Performance Savings account, you can enjoy an FDIC-insured account that offers a very competitive rate.
