Philadelphia CD Rates Survey for the Week of December 19, 2011

According to a recent Primerates.com survey conducted on December 19, 2011 of Philadelphia CD rates offered by the area banks & credit unions, Philadelphia’s largest financial institutions offered short-term savers 6 month CD’s with rates between 0.05% at Wells Fargo (www.WellsFargo.com) and 0.50% at Beneficial Mutual Savings Bank (www.thebeneficial.com).   Beneficial Mutual, in a push for new business, offers higher rates for all longer-term CD maturities, ranging from .75% 1-year CD’s to 1.49% for a 4-year CD.  TD Bank (www.tdbank.com) offers the highest 5-year CD maturity at 1.74%.

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.
