Deal Summary

3-month to 60-month tiers, $1,000 minimum opening balance, withdraw interest without penalty

Seattle Bank’s Top CD Rates

Seattle Bank offers eight regular CD’s, IRA CD’s, and youth CD’s.

To open a CD for someone under 18, the minimum balance is only $300. All other CD’s require a $1,000 minimum balance.

The top rate at Seattle Bank is 0.80% for a 60-month (5-year) regular CD. The APY goes down by 0.05% for each tier under that until it lands at the 12-month tier with an APY of 0.60%.

The short term tiers are 9-months with a 0.50% APY, 6-months with a 0.33% APY, and 3-months with a 0.15% APY.

Interest is compounded daily and added to the balance quarterly. You can withdraw credited interest without facing penalties. If funds are withdrawn beyond the initial balance, you will face penalties which will reduce your earnings.

Both regular and IRA CD’s have the same rates, but IRA CD’s can have a minimum balance as low as $500. Withdrawals of an IRA CD before the age of 59 will be penalized with a 10% federal tax and possibly state taxes too.
