You are viewing rates from banks across Connecticut
Below are eighteen-month Certificates of Deposit (CD) rates from banks in Connecticut . Eighteen Month CDs offer a bit more yield than 1-year CDs but require a longer time-commitment. Like any CD, you should consider the trade-off between the difference in yield and the required time commitment. If an 18 month CD pays significantly above the yield of a 12-month CD, it may be worth opening.
