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.

WealthFront pays me 5.5% for a HYSA. Why lock up in a CD?

When the fed lowers rate (probably this fall), Wealthfront and all online cash management products will likely lower rate too. So if you want to lock in that 5%+ rate for 12 months, CDs can be a good product. But you do lose the flexibility of HYSA so each has their pro and cons. By this time next year, those HYSA could very likely be close 3% vs 5% now.

Good rate at GS. I have a no-penalty CD with them at 4.7%. Also have 6-month US Treasury Bill at 5.23% that's state tax exempt.

Just signed up yesterday after all the rate cut discussions. They make it super easy to setup ladders. Web interface was straightforward.
Can you elaborate on "ladders" please? I assume you are talking about small-er CDs that will vest at different months so you don't have to wait for the whole blob to mature in a year, so in case you need some money you coudl get it from one of the "step" of the CD.

But I am not sure how to achieve it. Let say you have 100K to CD... You put all 100K for 9 months and now you need to wait 9 mos ot get any moeny back or renew. How do you set up ladder? You could put 10K on 1 C and wait a month to put another 10K but you are loosing money... so how do you do it? Thnaks...

Robinhood Gold is giving 5.5% APR with $5 monthly charges. Money is liquid and not blocked unlike CD
I wouldn't trust robinhood if they paid me.

WF is 5%, so you're getting a referral bonus also. By all means, you should just keep in there until your bonus ends. I was only getting 5% and I kept mine in there until a few months ago during the Yotta debacle and questions about whether WF could have a similar issues. Wasn't worth it for a extra 0.5% if they ran into an issue and I couldn't pull my money out. But GS is a safe bet, so I'll move extra savings to this CD.

I have a 5.3% MM w/ Fifth Third guaranteed until November 2024. My 5.0% CD with Ally is getting moved into it as soon as possible. Do some digging and see if you can match these CD rates with a money market for obvious reasons.

This isn't bad.

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

Why does everyone and their sister on this thread want to compare rates on a 1 year CD to everything except another 1 year CD?

When I said I could find 5.35%, that was only for 1 year CDs, not other products.

All financial products have tradeoffs. If a 1 year CD isn't right for your situation, don't buy one. If it is, this is a decent (but not best-available) rate for one.

You can't fairly compare it to 3 month CDs, corporate bonds, commodities investments, savings accounts, money market funds, brokerage sweep accounts, annuities, or cash value life insurance. (Okay, maybe a comparison to 1-year investment grade bonds is reasonable)

Don't CDs already price in anticipated rate drops? Nothing's guaranteed, but if I'm a bank, I sure as hell am offering you less for a year of your money if I think I'll be able to get it cheaper in 3 months.
