The names were changed for the banks with the best six month CD rates in Michigan but the top rates remain the same.  The highest six month rate is still being held by Peoples State Bank with a seven month CD rate of 2.40%.  First National Bank of Wakefield comes up with the next best CD rate at 2.39% on a six month term.  Nine basis points behind this rate is the six month CD of New Liberty Bank that has an interest rate of 2.30%.  Gogebic Range Bank drops down a few notches after a reduction in the rate they offer on their six month CD which now stands at 2.19%.

The best one year CD rate in Michigan saw a measurable jump as Northpointe Bank leaped ahead of the pack with an 11 month CD that earns a rate of 2.75%.  First National Bank of Wakefield is a distant second place with a one year CD that has a rate pf 2.51%.  Only one basis point behind this rate is the odd term, 13 month CD of Summit Community Bank that has an interest rate of 2.50%.  Gogebic Range Bank is again on the list, a few positions further back, with a one year CD with a yield of 2.39%.  MainStreet Savings Bank follows with a 13 month term that has an interest rate of 2.30%.

Three banks in Michigan have two year CD rates that beat the national best bank rates.  Citizens First Bank once again dominates the list with a 22 month CD that yields 3.15%.  Northpointe Bank has a two year CD that is at 3.05%.  Edgewater Bank drops back with a 23 month CD that has an interest rate of 3.00%.  10 basis points behind the best national two year CD rate is the two year certificate of deposit from First National Bank of America with a rate of 2.80%.

Unfortunately, the best national CD rates handily beat the best five year CD rates offered by Michigan banks.  The highest five year CD rate in Michigan continues to be the product of Community Central Bank with five year CD rate of 3.51%.  First National Bank of America picks up the next best rate with a five year CD rate of 3.45%.  Northpointe Bank’s five year follows with a CD rate of 3.40%.  Rates continue to dwindle down until the last two banks on the list, Citizens Bank and Edgewater Bank, market their five year CDs at 3.25%.
