KeySource Commercial Bank has bounded onto the CD Rates Leaderboard.
The single-office bank in Durham, N.C., ties for the best nationally available 6-, 12- and 60-month CD rates, and we’re tracking its solid rates in the other standard terms.
It also has a 7-month CD special that pays 1.00% APY.
Since Intervest National Bank dropped its 60-month CD rates slightly today, KeySource Commercial Bank co-leads that term with Tennessee Commerce Bank.
Both pay 1.95% APY. Click here to read more

The 36-month term is the latest casualty of falling CD rates.
Just last week, AmTrust Direct (www.amtrustdirect.com) regained the lead spot on our CD Rates Leaderboard, but only because it hasn’t cut its rates recently.
It’s held the same rate since Oct. 3, which was only good enough for a tie for fourth place then.
The online division of Cleveland-based AmTrust Bank, a division of New York Community Bank, pays 1.55% APY with a $1,000 minimum deposit. Click here to read more

The top nationally available savings account rate was just cut, so it’s nice to find at least a little glimmer, even if it comes with some caveats.
If you open a new savings account or money market account at Flagstar Bank (www.flagstar.com), it will guarantee the promotional rate for four months.
And that rate: 1.15% APY. Click here to read more

Chase’s CD rates have held steady in the new year.
While they’re not the “great rates” this big bank with more than 2,500 branches advertises, I’ll give credit where credit is due.
Chase’s 60-month CD special is still 1.25% APY with a $10,000 minimum deposit. Click here to read more
