1-Year CD National Average Rate

Primary source

All values come directly from FDIC National Rates and Rate Caps. We do not modify, smooth, or interpolate published values.

The FDIC National Rate Cap for 12-month certificates of deposit — weighted average APY. A popular mid-duration savings product often used in CD ladders.

Update schedule

Weekly — we refresh daily; upstream source publishes once per week (check Next Update below).

We gate dateModified updates to actual value changes (threshold: 0.01% absolute or 0.5% relative) to prevent freshness spoofing. If the upstream value hasn't moved, we don't claim we updated the page.
