Our verdict

High rates and no minimum deposit with a CD from this big-name online bank.

Capital One offers strong rates on CDs with terms of six to 60 months. There’s no minimum deposit, which is surprising, as most banks of its size tend to require deposits of at least $1,000. With nine term lengths and the freedom to deposit as little or as much as you want, it’s a solid option. Rates are also high, up to 4.20% APY on a 12-month CD term. However, you won’t find any no-penalty CD options that would allow you to withdraw funds early without any penalty fees.

Best for: Those who want a high-yield CD with no deposit requirement.

Pros

  • Up to 4.20% APY
  • No deposit requirement
  • Daily compounding interest

Cons

  • Lacks no-penalty CD options
  • Must open online

Cashout and rollover details

Capital One has a 10-day grace period in which you can decide whether to cash out or allow the CD to renew. If you don’t withdraw the funds by the time it reaches maturity, Capital One automatically renews your CD for the same term length, but you’re not guaranteed the same rate you had originally. This is common among other banks and credit unions.

How Capital One 360 CDs and rates compare

Capital One doesn’t offer the highest rates we’ve seen, with Bread Savings topping the market with APYs up to 4.40%. But while Capital One doesn’t have the highest rate, Bread Savings still requires at least $1,500 to open, so Capital One still earns a place among the most competitive options in the market.

Capital One’s CDs also beat out national averages by a large margin. The average rate on a 12-month CD is 1.85%(1), and a 360 CD with a 12-month term can get you 4.20% APY — that’s nearly three times the average rate.

No doubt, the standout feature is the lack of deposit requirement for all the available terms. Nearly all the best CDs offered require at least $1,000 to open, which include First Internet Bank, Crescent Bank CDs and Alliant Credit Union. And a top competitor like Wells Fargo requires at least $2,500 to $5,000, which isn’t the most attainable requirement for many.

However, if you prefer no-penalty CD options, look elsewhere. The 360 CD options all come with early withdrawal penalties, ranging from 60 to 180 days of earned interest, depending on your CD’s term.

CDs ratings

★★★★★ — Excellent

★★★★★ — Good

★★★★★ — Average

★★★★★ — Subpar

★★★★★ — Poor

We rate CDs and share certificates on a scale ranging from one to five stars based on what matters most to you. We consider two factors equally when rating CDs: minimum deposits and annual percentage yields (APYs) relative to term length. If a bank requires a different minimum opening deposit depending on the chosen term, we rate the CD based on the average minimum deposit across all terms. And although some institutions offer CDs with terms ranging from one week to 20 years, we only consider term lengths the FDIC uses in its monthly updates on national rates.

No, the money market account is different than a CD. Here’s our review for the money market account: https://www.finder.com/capital-one-360-money-market-account
