Everything is bigger Texas and that apparently includes short term certificate of deposit rates.  Once again, all of the best six month CD rates in Texas on the list are above the best national CD rates for the same term.  Wilshire State Bank leads the pack with strict six month term CD that has an interest rate of 2.53%.  The next best six month CD rate listed belongs to Access 1st Capital Bank on a nine month term that has an interest rate of 2.45%.  Southwestern National Bank and Golden Bank both have six month CDs that yield 2.30%.  Synergy Bank follows with a six month CD rate of 2.27 and United Central Bank which offers a six month CD that earns a rate of 2.25%.

The best one year CD rates do not quite live up the Texas motto since the highest one year CD rate stands at only 2.62%.  This is an odd month promotion by Mutual Bank that matures in 16 months.  Southwestern National Bank’s CD tumbles just 2 basis points back with a one year CD that has an interest rate of 2.60%.  Wilshire State Bank places is in the third position with a one year CD rate of 2.53%.  The next best one year CD rates declines only a slight bit more with a yield of 2.50% and is being promoted by United Central Bank.

Two banks vie for the top spot in the best two year CD rates in the state.  Both, Southwestern National Bank and Main Street Bank have two year CDs that yield 2.80%.  Mutual Bank’s two year CD with an interest rate of 2.76% takes the next spot.  The list ends with two banks offering CD rates set at 2.60%.  United Central Bank offers this rate on a two year term while Round Top State Bank based in Round Top promotes a 30 month term.

The best five year CD rates for the week were little changed.  The highest CD rate is still held by Access 1st Capital Bank with a rate of 3.71%.  Green Bank remains in second position, marketing a five year CD with a rate of 3.50%.  Mutual Bank’s five year CD with an interest rate of 3.34% takes up the next position, unchanged from last week.  Texas Bank, Equity Bank and La Jolla Bank round out the list for the top five year CD rates.
