Best CD rates today, August 11, 2025 (Lock in up to 5.5% APY)

Today’s CD rates are still offering attractive returns that are well above the national average. In 2024, the Federal Reserve made the decision to reduce its target interest rate three times, which had a direct impact on deposit account rates. This means that now could be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the current high rates by investing in a certificate of deposit (CD). Let’s take a closer look at some of the best CD rates available today and where you can find the top offers.

As of August 11, 2025, the highest CD rate stands at 5.5% APY, which is offered by Gainbridge® on their 5-year CD. To open this account, a minimum deposit of $1000 is required.

For those considering a CD, these rates are among the most competitive available, especially when compared to the lower national average rates. It’s important to note that online banks and credit unions typically offer better rates compared to traditional brick-and-mortar banks.

According to the most recent data from the FDIC as of June 2025, the highest national average interest rate for CDs is 1.77% for a 1-year term. Today’s average CD rates are some of the highest we’ve seen in nearly two decades, largely due to the Federal Reserve’s efforts to combat inflation by maintaining elevated interest rates.

If you’re thinking about opening a CD, it’s crucial to select one with a high APY and a term length that aligns with your financial objectives. Here are some tips to help you find the best CD rates and accounts that suit your needs:

  • Shop around: It’s advisable to compare CD rates from multiple financial institutions before making a decision. You can easily compare rates online to find the best option.
  • Consider online banks: Online banks often offer higher interest rates on CDs due to their lower overhead costs. They are known to have some of the most competitive rates available in the market.
  • Check minimum deposit requirements: Higher CD rates may come with higher minimum deposit requirements. Make sure that the amount you intend to deposit meets the requirements to secure the best rate.
  • Review account terms and conditions: In addition to the rate, examine the terms for early withdrawal penalties and auto-renewal policies. Some CDs offer more flexibility, such as no-penalty CDs that allow you to withdraw funds without a fee before the maturity date.

    By following these tips and staying informed about the current CD rates, you can make an informed decision when choosing the best CD for your financial goals. Take advantage of the high rates available now before they potentially decrease in the future.
