Another bank that we here at CD Interest Rates Info haven’t had a look at before is Hanmi Bank. They caught our attention recently when they recruited Cleveland Indian player Choo Shin Soo as their spokesperson. This California bank has some of the best CD interest rates we’ve seen around.

Of interest are the Hanmi Bank CD rates offered for Internet CD accounts. For these accounts, CD rates at Hanmi are pretty great, starting at 0.55% annual percentage yield (APY) for a 3 month term. These Internet CD accounts require a $1,000 deposit to open and maintain without fees.

For a 6 month term, Hanmi Bank certificate of deposit rates are 0.95% APY – one of the highest in the nation right now. For 9 months it is 1.01% APY, one of the few today that is offering a rate over 1% for less than a year.

The real shining star in Hanmi CD rates is in the 12 month term which has a 1.11% APY and this rate is ONLY available online. This is one of the best CD interest rates nationally for this term.

As an incidental aside, while these CD rates at Hanmi are of interest, so are their Internet Savings accounts. Open one of those and you get 0.90% APY on deposits over 1 penny and up to $24,999.99 (the maximum allowed for this promotion). So if you have an interest in savings, that’s a good one.

Hanmi Bank is, of course, fully FDIC insured.

We haven’t looked at this popular credit union yet, but were very impressed with the high returns that Golden 1 Credit Union gives on certificates of dividend (the credit union version of certificates of deposit). They are showing some of the best CD interest rates we’ve seen lately.

For a 12 or 18 month term, Golden 1 CD rates are 0.55% APY for deposits of $1,000 to $9,999.99. $10,000 to $49,999.99 gets a 0.60% APY and from $50,000 to $99,999.99 the rate is 0.65% APY. Finally, at $100,000 or more, the best CD interest rates for this term are 0.70% APY.

Golden Bank CD rates at 36 months climb to 1.45% APY for $1,000 to $99,999.99 in deposits and Jumbo rates at 1.50% APY.

They continue to keep interesting as Golden 1 CD rates at 48 months get to 1.90% APY for $1,000 to $99,999.99 in deposits. Going to $100,000 or more, they are 1.95% APY.

To top it all off, CD rates at Golden 1 for the 60 month term are at 2.25% APY from $1,000 to $99,999.99 and then go to 2.30% APY for Jumbo deposits.

You can agree that the rates here are pretty great and some of the best CD interest rates we’ve seen in a while. Golden 1 Credit Union is fully insured by the NCUA.

Here are the most recent updates for people of Virginia and Pennsylvania from CD Interest Rates Info.

In our never ending quest to find the best CD interest rates, we here at CD Interest Rates Info look at all types of banks nationally. Today, we’re looking at one that is often overlooked and bringing you the latest in Frost Bank CD rates.

Frost CD rates come in various shapes according to term and deposit amount. We’ll start with the lower-amount terms ($1,000 minimum to $99,999). Terms for these start at 90 days with Frost Bank CD rates matching the length of the term.

For 90 days, rates are 0.15% annual percentage yield, for 180 days they are 0.25% APY and for 1 year they are 0.30% APY. For 18 months, they’re 0.50% APY and for 2 years they are 0.60% APY. These are good CD rates at Frost, but they are not necessarily nationally competitive.

For those with more to deposit, in Jumbo CD rates (starting at $100,000), Frost Bank certificate of deposit offers are a little better. For 14, 30, 60, or 90 days on the short term, they offer 0.15% APY. For 180 days, it’s 0.30% APY and for 1 year it’s 0.35% APY. 18 months gives 0.55% APY and 2 years gives 0.60% APY for these Jumbo rates.

These Jumbo CD rates at Frost are a little better, but not the best available. For those who’d rather use a closer-to-home, smaller bank with a good standing at the FDIC and full insurance, however, it might be a good choice.

These CD rates at Frost can change at any time. If they appeal to you, get your best CD interest rates today before they do.

ING Direct is the online banking division of ING Group, which is a very large financial institution based in the Netherlands.  We thought that we would take a look at the CD interest rates at ING to see how they compare to the competition.  We found a few ING CDs worth investigating.

The main type of ING Bank certificate of deposit is the ING Orange CD.  Orange CDs come in many different term lengths, and ING Orange CD rates do vary depending on the length of the term.

The ING Orange 12 month CD has an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 4.25 percent.  That seems like a pretty good rate for a 1 year CD.

The ING Orange 24 month CD earns an APY of 4.50 percent.  Not bad for a 2 year CD these days.

The ING Orange 60 month CD also earns an APY of 4.50 percent.  With the current uncertainty about the long-term direction of interest rates, this also strikes us as an ING CD rate worth checking out.

These ING Direct CD Rates seem pretty appealing in today’s CD market.  Please remember to check the ING Direct online banking site to confirm the ING Bank CD Rates available in your town, as interest rates can change quickly and may vary by location.
