High CD and Savings Rates Continue as Banks Compete for Deposits
Experts advise locking in rates now, as CD rates are not expected to rise in 2024.
- Banks and credit unions are competing for customer deposits with high CD and savings rates, offering a favorable environment for savers.
- Experts predict CD rates will not increase in 2024, making it an opportune time to lock in current high rates.
- The best CD rate available is 5.75% from Andrews Federal Credit Union for a 6-month term.
- The Federal Reserve has signaled it may cut rates later this year, potentially leading to lower CD and savings rates in the future.
- Savings and checking account bonuses, such as up to a $300 bonus from SoFi Checking and Savings, are also being offered to attract new customers.
