Savings Account & MMA Rates
CD (Certificate of Deposit) Rates 
A year after Lehman Brothers spectacular collapse its former, federally-insured bank has risen to the top of our rankings of the best, nationally-available 24-month CD rates.
Lehman Brothers Bank was not part of its owner’s bankruptcy and is trying to get a fresh start by taking the name of the Roman goddess of the dawn.
Aurora Bank, as it’s now known, certainly made our morning by offering a 24-month certificate of deposit for 2.45% APY with a $1,000 minimum deposit.
That isn’t as high as the 2.50% APY two banks were paying in our early-September rankings of the top-paying 24-month CDs.
But since then Tennessee Commerce Bank cut its rate to 2.15% APY and Frontier Bank lowered its return to 2.40% APY.
Aurora, which is based in Wilmington, Del., and has a branch in Jersey City, N.J., allows savers to apply online and transfer money from checking or savings accounts to buy its certificates of deposit.
