More details about Capital One CDs

Minimum deposit

None.

Monthly fee

None, which is common for CDs.

Range of CD terms

6 months to 5 years.

Bonus rate feature

10-Day Rate Lock (Best Rate) Guarantee: If you fund your CD by linking to an external account within 10 calendar days of opening your account, Capital One will offer you the best rate available for that term within those 10 days. So if Capital One raises its 1-year CD rate three days after you fund a 1-year CD, you enjoy the higher rate. This feature ensures that you can capture the best CD rate even if processing delays happen.

Compounding period

Monthly. (This detail helps you estimate what you can earn using a CD calculator.)

Early withdrawal penalty

  • 3 months' worth of interest* for CDs of terms 1 year and shorter

  • 6 months' worth of interest* for CDs of terms longer than 1 year

*The penalty can include more than actual interest earned if the withdrawal occurs too early in the term.

Grace period

10 days after the CD's maturity date. Capital One CDs automatically renew, so this 10-day window is the only time to withdraw without facing a penalty.

POD designation available?

Yes; Capital One CDs can be “payable on death” accounts, meaning an account owner can choose individuals as beneficiaries to receive funds in the event of the owner’s death. Capital One allows up to 10 individuals to be designated as beneficiaries.

Capital One IRA CD available?

No; see other banks' options on our list of the best IRA CD rates.

What to consider when opening CDs

  • Interest rates are fixed. If you open a Capital One CD today, its annual percentage yield will stay the same until the CD expires. This enables you to lock in a CD if rates are relatively high. Here’s a quick look at historical CD rates, or, if you want a snapshot of high-yield rates by term, see current CD rates.

  • 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 Capital One bank CD before it expires, there’s an early withdrawal penalty, which means losing some or all the interest you earned.
