San Francisco CD Rates Survey for the week May 28, 2012

According to a recent Primerates.com survey conducted on May 28, 2012 of San Francisco CD rates offered by the area banks & credit unions, San Francisco’s largest financial institutions offered short-term savers 6-month CD’s with rates between 0.05% at Wells Fargo (www.wellsfargo.com), and 0.30% at Bank of America (www.bankofamerica.com). Meanwhile, First Republic (www.firstrepublic.com) offered the highest 2-year CDs, with rates of 1.10%, whereas Union Bank (www.unionbank.com) offered the highest 5-year CDs, with rates of 1.50%.

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.
