Is Citibank a Good Investment for CDs?
Citibank offers competitive APYs that exceed 4.00% for certain terms with its Fixed Rate CDs. However, some of its CD terms come with very low rates, so those wouldn’t offer a particularly good return on your investment.
Some other banks offer APYs that sometimes exceed 5.00%, whereas Citibank’s CD APYs usually don’t get that high. It’s worth shopping around and comparing your options to find the best place for your money—learn more with our picks for the best overall CD rates.
How Do You Get the Best CD Rate With Citibank?
As of publication, Citibank offers its best rate (over 4.00% APY) on certain terms with its Fixed Rate CD. All of Citibank’s CDs require a $500 minimum deposit.
Withdrawing your money from a CD before it matures will usually trigger an early withdrawal penalty. With the exception of its No Penalty CDs, Citibank charges an early withdrawal fee equal to 90 days or 180 days of interest, depending on your term length.
Does Citibank Have a 3-Month CD?
You can choose a three-month term on Citibank’s Fixed Rate CD. This three-month CD comes with a low APY and requires a minimum deposit of $500.
What Is Citibank’s Highest-Paying 12-Month CD?
The highest paying 12-month CD at Citi is the Fixed Rate CD which pays 3.75% for 18 months. There is also a 12-month No-Penalty CD, but its rate is currently very low. The special benefit of the No Penalty CD is that you can withdraw your money early without penalty as long as it’s been at least six days since you made the minimum deposit.
