How Capital One’s CDs compare to top-yielding banks
Capital One offers below average CD rates. You can find higher rates elsewhere on both the shorter and longer terms. 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, for instance.
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 returns 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
For those seeking to save for their retirement, Capital One also offers a 360 IRA CD as well as a 360 IRA Savings account that is available in the Traditional or Roth option.
You can also get a more liquid account at Capital One: With the bank’s 360 Performance Savings account, you can enjoy an FDIC-insured account that offers a very competitive rate.
