Choice Financial Group, a community bank in Grand Forks, N.D., is offering a 13-month CD that pays 2.51% APY.
That’s a quarter-point better than the top 12-month CD rates in our most recent survey, and more than twice the average return on one-year certificates of deposit.
Choice Financial calls it a RateBuilder CD because it includes an add-on provision. During the term of the CD you can add more money up to the amount of your original deposit — a $5,000 minimum.
The offer is available nationwide and you can apply on-line. But good deals from small banks rarely last very long, so do it now.

You might notice the 2.76% Choice Financials paying on its RateBuilder savings account. But that rate is only good for one month. After that it falls to 1.76% to 2.26%, depending on your balance.
We think you’re better off locking in the 2.51% for 13 months.
