How Capital One’s CDs compare to top-yielding banks
Capital One CD rates are below some other banks that offer top-earning CDs, including:
- Sallie Mae Bank
- Synchrony Bank
- Vio Bank
Moreover, some online banks such as Marcus by Goldman Sachs, also offer no-penalty CDs that allow you to withdraw the principal balance without a fee, while Capital One doesn’t offer them.
But Capital One accounts don’t have a minimum deposit requirement, while Marcus requires at least $500 to open a CD.
Compare CD rates, available term lengths and minimum deposit amounts (if any) at several banks when deciding where to park your savings. The goal is to find the highest possible return while ensuring the term fits your timeline.
Other savings options at Capital One
Capital One’s 360 Performance Savings is an account covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) deposit insurance, as long as you’re within FDIC limits and guidelines. It offers a competitive yield and doesn’t have a minimum balance requirement, making it suitable for all savers.
