The best one year CD rates slid modestly this past week.  The average of the best one year CD rates was down by two basis points or 2/100 of a percent.  The previous week average yield stood at 2.04%, this weeks reduction brought that rate down to 2.02%.

The market leader for the best one year CD rate available nationally comes from Amboy Bank or more precisely their online division, Amboy Direct.  Amboy Direct offers a one year CD with an interest rate of 2.10% for balances of $10,000.00 or greater.  The highest rate is down significantly from the previous week when ING Bank was marketed a new money one year CD that had an interest rate of 2.15%.  Amboy Direct’s CD rate offer is unchanged from the previous week and has held steady for several consecutive weeks.

Following the top rate of Amboy is the one year CD offer from UmbrellaBank.com.  UmbrellaBank.com markets a one year CD with an interest rate of 2.06%.  State Bank of India in New York and Bank of Internet offer CD rates nipping at the heal of UmbrellaBank.com with interest rates at 2.02%.

The list of the top ten one year CD rates wraps up with only two other rates.  Two banks offer one year CD rates at 2.01% while four banks offer one year CD interest rates at 2.00%.  Flagstar Bank and Nexity Bank promote one year CD rates at 2.01% while Ally Bank, Ascencia, Aurora Bank and iGOBanking market one year CDs with interest rates at 2.00%.

 Interest rate changes within the list of the top ten bank CDs with a one year maturity were fairly mild excluding the drop of ING Banks offer.  No other bank form the previous week’s list dropped their rate offerings and two banks actually raised their CD rates modestly for the week.
