Seattle/Tacoma CD Rates Survey for the week May 21, 2012

According to a recent Primerates.com survey conducted on May 21, 2012 of Seattle/Tacoma CD rates offered by the area banks & credit unions, Seattle/Tacoma’s largest financial institutions offered short-term savers 6-month CD’s with rates between 0.05% at U.S. Bank National (www.usbank.com), and 0.35% at Washington Federal (www.washingtonfederal.com). Meanwhile, Union Bank (www.unionbank.com) offered the highest 2-year and 5-year CDs, with rates of 1.01% and 2.00% 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.
