You’ll need to put down $10,000 to open a CD. That's a steep minimum compared to other banks, which typically require $1,000 or less.
The annual percentage yields for PurePoint Financial CDs are generally better than those at large traditional banks, but the longer terms pay lower APYs than many other online banks’ do.

RATING METHODOLOGY
NerdWallet’s overall ratings for banks and credit unions are weighted averages of several categories: checking, savings, certificates of deposit or credit union share certificates, banking experience and overdraft fees. Factors we consider, depending on the category, include rates and fees, ATM and branch access, account features and limits, user-facing technology, customer service and innovation. The stars represent ratings from poor (one star) to excellent (five stars). Ratings are rounded to the nearest half-star.
