Cleveland, OH – May 12, 2011 - According to a recent CD rates study conducted by Cleveland Banking Rates (www.clevelandbankingrates.com), the average CD rates in Cleveland were found to be lower than the national average. For easy viewing, the data has been compiled into an infographic comparing Cleveland CD rates to other cities in the nation. After the recent recession, many consumers are interested in maximizing savings while protecting their investments from ongoing market volatility. Interest rates from CD accounts are expected to remain low until the economy shows strong signs of growth and recovery.
The information used to complete the study was pulled from Cleveland Banking Rate’s database of CD account rates from local banks and credit unions within a 50-mile radius of the city. This database of interest rates comes from its national partner website, Go Banking Rates, which gathers rates information from over 5,000 financial institutions nationwide. Consumers can use the Rates Table Comparison Tool in order to compare 6, 12 and 24-month CD rates between local, national and online-only banks and credit unions.
