Online banks generally provide better rates on six month certificates of deposit in return for the depositor opening the CD online and interacting with the bank online or via phone. There is no branch which the depositor can visit to ask questions, roll over the CD, or open the account.
Other than the way a CD from an online bank is opened and serviced, the rest of the characteristics are the same as a branch-opened CD.
When interest rates are falling, it is often preferable to lock in high rates for an extended period of time with a longer-term CD. When interest rates are rising, depositors should avoid committing their money for long periods of time. To see interest rate trends, visit the BestCashCow rate analysis page.
