Expert review
Rising Bank CDs are best for those looking for a high interest rate without a long-term commitment. But there’s a lack of short- and long-term options and your interest is compounded every three months.Benefits of a Rising Bank CD
With Rising Bank, expect these benefits from your CD account:
- High rates. You’ll earn 0.6% APY on a one-year CD, 0.6% APY on a two-year CD and 0.65% on a three-year CD. These rates are much higher than what you’ll find at a traditional bank and still competitive with online bank rates.
What to watch out for
Consider some of the following drawbacks before you apply for a Rising Bank CD:
- Interest compounded every three months. Unlike CDs that compound interest daily or monthly, Rising Bank compounds the interest on your CD every three months.
- High deposit. You’ll need $1,000 to open a standard CD with Rising Bank. You’ll find that some competitors require deposits as low as $500.
- Lack of term lengths. Rising Bank only offers mid-term CDs. The shortest CD offered is a one year and the longest term is for three years.
If you want to lock your money away for less than 12 months, you’ll want to keep looking and compare your options.
