Los Angeles CD Rates Survey for the week March 19, 2012

According to a recent Primerates.com survey conducted on March 19, 2012 of Los Angeles CD rates offered by the area banks & credit unions, Los Angeles’ largest financial institutions offered short-term savers 6-month CD’s with rates between 0.05% at Wells Fargo (www.wellsfargo.com), and 0.70% at Onewest Bank (www.owb.com). Onewest Bank (www.owb.com) has also been offering the highest 2-year and 5-year CD, with rates of 1.00% CD and 1.54% CD 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.
