Savebetter.com has a No penalty CD @ 3.30% APR. You can break this CD anytime after 30 days. With Fed Reserve increasing rates, CDs in the near future will pay better. So lock in 3.3% for now; if you find a better higher earning CD in the future, break it and lock in. Otherwise, you have a minimum of 3.3% APY for 14 months. There's no minimum and FDIC insured to $250,000

For people that want a higher earning CD they also offer a regular 2 YR CD @ 3.8% through a different bank.

*******"Closing the account early is permitted without penalty. Earnings may be affected by early withdrawal. Partial withdrawals of funds are not permitted

translation is you cannot access the money unless you want to break the term (which is essentially just like a regular CD). This one also mentions your earnings could be impacted, which translates in English to the word fee. This is not worth all this hassle for a couple extra dollars in exchange for tying up your resources.

This means that if you close your account you won't get the full interest of 3.3 APY. It would be prorated. If you break the account, you will get paid out as interest is compounded daily and they will prorate you the money.

Please show me a no penalty CD that has a higher APY. Remember, no penalty means you can withdraw any time after 30 days.

There are multiple savings accounts that are paying out over 3% now. For example, elements financial is paying 3.25% on a FDIC insured savings account.

Setting up a CD just for a 0.05% bump may not be worth it. Even mainstream banks like ETrade are paying 2.75% now. At this point, I would just keep my money in one of these savings accounts and wait for the fed to increase their rates again.

The difference is a guaranteed return. Savings accounts often have a high introductory rate that decreases but when rates drop the savings rate will go down. Market is speculating maybe the beginning of easing in 2023 with rates. Savings accounts will go down accordingly. Here you are locked for 14 months if you choose to and then can move if you want to after 30 days.

Good point, but it's unlikely rates are going down anytime soon. I won't be surprised if we see 4+% rates over the next few months.

Correct. No one has the crystal ball. For example, 5 year CD rate was at 2.25% in 2017 but CD rates went up to like 2.65% in 2018? So it seemed like a mistake to get the 2.25% CD. However afterwards it crashed to like 1%.for several years. The market rallied this week because some people expect Fed to slow down the rate hikes. However, it can go either way, no one knows what would happen until afterwards.
