How Ally Bank rates compare with top-yielding banks

Ally’s CD rates are competitive. Ally has slightly fewer options for long-term CDs than some other banks, but it’s still easy to establish a CD ladder.

Online banks such as EverBank and LendingClub offer higher rates on a one-year CD, for instance. But unlike Ally, they also have minimum deposit requirements.

Other savings options at Ally

Ally offers a highly rated online savings account if you need more flexibility with your savings. The Ally Online Savings account pays a higher yield than some of Ally’s CDs.

Ally’s money market account is another solid option that offers a competitive yield along with no monthly fees or minimum balance requirements.
