A bank/credit union CD will usually give you two options:
- Let the interest collect/reinvest in the CD and take all the money at the end of the term. (Note: Brokered CDs don't do this).
- Collect the interest as-you-go, usually monthly or quarterly.

Then, at the end of the term the bank CD has the big *gotcha*.

You have x number of days after the CD matures to take your money out. You have to do in that timeframe. If you do not, it rolls over into another CD of the same term (I.E. 1 year CD makes a new 1 year CD). That new CD probably won't have your awesome promotional rate, and you get *R$#(ed if you let them do that.

So, if you buy a bank CD, have a calendar reminder to take the money out at the right time!
5% not 5.5% (a 60 days 0.5% bonus is awarded for depositing $1k). However, when rates drop so will the interest in Robinhood, the CD is locked in. Not financial advice.
Savings account rate can dip at any time.

Sure the funds are locked in with a CD, but so is the rate.

Obviously you're not supposed to put emergency funds in a CD. Just funds you're sure you don't need for a while.

This isn't bad.

I can find rates as high as 5.35%, but not with big name backing like GS.

If you search for the best bank and credit union CDs in the country, they'll almost always beat brokered CDs.

However, you do have to consider the inconvenience factor of opening an account at an institution you've never dealt with and putting in calendar alerts to remind yourself not to let it roll over after the term ends.

How does a CD actually work in the term? Do we pull the money out once it's over 12 months old? or before?

You can get a no-penalty CD (i.e. withdraw anytime, don't lose the accrued interest) on SaveBetter via Ponce Bank @ 5.10% for a 9 month period. The site also has more traditional CDs at 5.15% for 14 months if time is important.

You'll sacrifice a small amount of APR return and 3 months of time period but gain back a lot of flexibility if you really need to get the money out sooner than a year. That works out to be $5,200 vs. $5,100 annualized (minus the 3 months) on a $100K investment.

Here's a link: https://www.raisin.com/en-us/cd-a...y-cd-rates

Per above, you can also pre-determine whether you withdraw at the end, or roll into another no-penalty CD (which doesn't really matter since you can cancel it anytime).

Just signed up yesterday after all the rate cut discussions. They make it super easy to setup ladders. Web interface was straightforward.

Robinhood Gold is giving 5.5% APR with $5 monthly charges. Money is liquid and not blocked unlike CD

In the past, I would disagree with you. I've gotten higher rates from my Fidelity brokerage account than looking at credit unions and banks going to bank rate Seems like that has changed now and some of the banks or credit unions are now offering higher rates.

I'd say on average brokered CDs pay much better than bank CDs, but you can usually find a bank offering an awesome promotional rate that will beat the brokered CD.

Best to look at both before buying. I also look at high-quality bonds as an option. For me, every CD/bond is a significant investment to me and worth a little research.

I like depositaccounts.com for finding bank/CU CDs - I think they are better than bankrate.com.

Fund treading account and get $USFR it gives 5.39%, safe money- no need to lock , no new accounts to open with random banks and easy to handle tax with less 1099

Also have some money to take a bit risk , get below for dividend

TSLY - gives 76% ( almost 5.5% a month)
NVDY -gives 64%
