Similarly, for three-year CDs, you can currently earn 4.84% APY instead of the industry average of 1.16% APY. Today's top-paying institution, however, will pay you 5.25% APY on that same one-year commitment-that's more than four times as much. The current national average is just 1.28% annual percentage yield (APY). Instead, look for the top nationally available rates, which stand far above industry averages. While the national average is a good indicator of the direction of rates-and how much they've changed over a period of time-they are not what you should consider when shopping for CDs.
