Bank of America offers a range of certificates of deposit (CDs) that may appeal to customers looking for a bank with a nationwide footprint. The minimum deposit to open a standard CD is reasonable at $1,000, but there’s a trade-off: Yields offered on Bank of America’s CDs are relatively low compared with other banks’ offerings.

Bank of America CD rates

Bank of America offers three types of CD accounts:

  • Standard Term CDs
  • Featured CDs
  • Flexible CDs

Featured CDs generally offer higher APYs than the standard CDs offered by Bank of America.
