Houston CD Rates Survey for the week July 23, 2012

According to a recent Primerates.com survey conducted on July 23, 2012 of Houston CD rates offered by the area banks & credit unions, Houston’s largest financial institutions offered short-term savers 6-month CD’s with rates between 0.10% at Comerica Bank (www.comerica.com), and 0.30% at Bank of America (www.bankofamerica.com). On the other hand, Compass Bank (www.bbvacompass.com) has been offering the highest 2-year and 5-year CD, with rates of 1.24% and 1.98% respectively.

CD’s are typically insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. As CD’s mature, banks typically re-price the rates on deposits. Make sure that you track when your CD’s mature so that you can roll them over into new CD’s and keep your money working as hard as possible.
