Two year bank CD rates continued on a very slow decent down this week.  The average rate for the best two year CD rates fell by the smallest of margins for the week ending May 7, 2010.  Based on the latest survey of bank CD interest rates completed by Selectcdrates.com, the average rate for the top ten highest two year CD rates moved down by one basis point or 1/100 of a percent on the week.

The average rate for the top ten highest two year certificates of deposit available nationally ended the week at 2.01%, down from the previous week’s figure of 2.02%.

The highest two year CD rate available nationally held firm at 2.10%.  The best two year CD rate on the market is a promotional product from Tennessee Commerce Bank.  The next highest two year term deposit falls a substantial amount lower, seven basis points lower from the bank rate term leader.  NewDominion Bank offers the second best bank rate on the two year term at 2.03%.

The remainder of the top ten best two year CD rates list is comprised of eight banks all offering the same yield.  American Express Bank, Acacia Federal Savings Bank, Aurora Bank, Bank of Internet, iGOBanking, Shore Bank, Ultima Bank Minnesota and Discover Bank all promote two year CDs that earn an a rate of 2.00%.

This week’s list of the top ten best two year CD rates available nationally had only one bank rate change.  State Bank of India failed to return from the previous week at which time the bank had a two year certificate that yielded 2.02% but has since reduced that rate to 1.91% and did not make the cutoff for this week’s list.  Discover CD replaced the loss of State Bank of India for the current bank CD rate survey.
