Chase offers customers a wide range of certificates of deposit (CDs). These CDs may be a good place to build savings for customers looking for unique term lengths, but much higher annual percentage yields (APYs) can be found elsewhere, as most terms for Chase CDs pay an APY that’s well below average.
Chase earned 3.5 out of 5 stars in Bankrate’s review across its deposit products, while its CDs earned 2.8 out of 5 stars.
Chase CD rates
Chase offers two types of CDs: standard rates and tiered relationship rates for those customers who also have a Chase checking account. Customers can also open a CD ladder when they link a Chase Private Client checking account.
Here are the rates for the standard CDs offered by Chase:
| Term | Standard APYs | Relationship APYs for balances under $100,000 | Relationship APYs for balances above $100,000 | Minimum balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Note: Annual percentage yields (APYs) shown are as of April 12, and may vary by region for some products. CD terms listed above are for new CDs and term changes, according to Chase’s website. | ||||
