The top nationally available 6-month CD rate on our CD Rates Leaderboard is just 0.85% APY.
Virtual Bank owns that rate and requires a substantially higher $10,000 minimum deposit.
Keep in mind that Cole Taylor Bank lowers its 6-month rate to 0.25% APY if you walk into one of its nine banking centers in the Chicago area.

That rate is just one-tenth of a percentage point less than you’d earn with the best nationally available savings account. Your money would be locked in for six months, but the rate is guaranteed.
