NerdWallet rating 

Chase’s certificates of deposit rates tend to be extremely low. There are a few exceptions among rates available to Chase checking customers, but even then the rates don’t compete with what some online banks can offer. Chase’s main strengths are the variety of CD terms and a relatively low minimum deposit.

    • $100,000

    A minimum deposit of $1,000 is fairly common, though some banks require far less, even $0.

    1 month to 10 years.

    This is a wide range. Standard term ranges are three months to five years.

    Early withdrawal penalty

    • 90 days’ (~3 months) interest for CD terms less than 6 months.

    • 180 days’ (~6 months) interest for CD terms from 6 months to 23 months.

    Other fees

    What to consider when opening CDs

    • Interest rates are fixed. If you open a Chase CD today, its annual percentage yieldAPY will stay the same until the CD expires. Typically, being able to lock in a CD rate benefits you if rates are about to fall, but on the flip side, you’ll earn less on a CD if rates keep rising. Here’s a quick look at historical CD rates. Or, if you want a sample of rates each month, see current CD rates.

    • Be aware of two common rules with CDs: You generally can’t make partial withdrawals or add additional funds after making a deposit into a CD.

    • You lose interest if you withdraw early. CDs are built to keep your money out of sight, out of mind. If you dip into a Chase CD before it expires, there’s an early withdrawal penalty, which means losing some or all the interest you earned. Some other banks offer CDs with no penalties; see the best no-penalty CD rates.

    • Interest accrues in a CD during the term, so you can benefit from compound interest. (See our CD calculator page or use the calculator below.) You can request to receive interest as regularly scheduled payments, or disbursements, to an external account or by check. The frequency can be monthly, quarterly or at longer intervals.

    More about Chase

    Chase is one of the largest national banks. Of the three most common types of deposit accounts — checking accounts, regular savings accounts and CDs — Chase has the most to offer with its checking account. There’s access to thousands of ATMs and branches, as well as robust online and mobile banking experiences. New checking customers can also take advantage of a sign-up bonus. CDs, however, are not a strong point for Chase. Outside of consumer deposit accounts, Chase offers credit cards, mortgages, business checking, business credit cards and J.P. Morgan self-directed investing.
