Atlanta CD Rates Survey for the week January 30, 2012

According to a recent Primerates.com survey conducted on January 30, 2012 of Atlanta CD rates offered by the area banks & credit unions, Atlanta’s largest financial institutions CD rates remain practically unchanged from the previous week.   Atlanta banks offered short-term savers 6 month CD’s with rates between 0.05% at Wells Fargo (www.WellsFargo.com) and 0.25% at SunTrust Bank (www.Suntrust.com) and United Bank (www.AccessUnited.com).   United Bank also continues to offer higher rates for all longer-term CD maturities, ranging from .60% 1-year CD’s to 1.45% for a 5-year CD.

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.
