Rising Bank CD overview

Rising Bank offers a range of CDs with various terms that’ll fit different needs. Its standard CDs, ranging from six months to three years, offer very competitive yields and require just $1,000 to open.

Rising Bank also offers bump-up CDs, called Rising CDs, that let you “bump-up” your APY if interest rates increase. However, these CDs require a much higher deposit, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. And like most jumbo CDs, the Jumbo CD offered at this bank (with a term of two years) requires a hefty $100,000 deposit. Both Rising CDs and Jumbo CDs have very high yields, just like the standard CDs.

Interest on all CDs is credited every three months.

Pros

Accounts are accessible to online savers nationwide.
The minimum deposit for most CDs is relatively low.
A Jumbo CD and three bump-up CDs are available.

Cons

There are no tiered APYs offered on higher balances.
The two-year jumbo CD only offers slightly more interest than the regular two-year CD.

Review methodology

With so many financial institutions to choose from, it can be hard to know who to trust. Bankrate’s ever-growing list of bank and credit union reviews is updated regularly. Our editorial team analyzes and reviews each institution across deposit products such as savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs) and money market accounts (MMAs). Banks are rated by important factors such as offered interest rates, fees, minimum balance requirements, access to funds and more.

We assign a score to each type of account and its features, weigh them carefully based on importance to account holders and determine an overall score. Read our full review methodology.
