How TD Bank CD rates compare

TD Bank’s Choice Promotional CDs are the most competitive. However, these CDs are only attractive if you are able to tap into the bump rate APY, which requires opening an eligible TD Bank checking account. 

As of May 20, 2024, the national average rate on a 12-month CD is 1.80% APY. Some of TD Bank’s CDs offer much higher interest rate opportunities. But when you compare TD Bank’s CD rates to other financial institutions, it’s possible to find higher rates available elsewhere. For example, the Sallie Mae certificates of deposit and Capital One 360 certificates of deposit both offer a 12-month CD with a 5.05% and 5.00% APY, respectively.
