It’s been a while since we here at Highest CD Rates Info have had a look at the latest in Fifth Third Bank CD rates, so we thought we’d bring you up to date.

*Editor’s Note: this is an older article, and we have recently updated our research about current Fifth Third CD Rates.  For our latest article on Fifth Third Certificate of Deposit Rates, please see the following page: Fifth Third CD Rates

Currently, there are five promotional offers in Fifth Third CD rates: an 8, 13, 24, 36, and 60 month term certificate of deposit. All five of the promotional offers require a $5,000 minimum deposit to open and maintain. The current CD rates on the promotional 8 month term are 0.50% annual percentage yield (APY). The 13 month term offers a 0.75% APY and the 24 month term offers a 1.00% APY. The 36 month term has a 1.50% APY and the 60 month term has a 2.00% APY.

Standard Fifth Third CD rates start with a 7 day term and go to 84 months. The highest CD rates are with the longer terms, of course.

A 7 to 89 day term yields 0.05% APY and require a $5,000 minimum deposit to open and maintain. All other offers require only a $500 minimum to open, but have a higher yield with $5,000 or more. Those higher numbers are what we will be listing here.

For 3 to 6 months, the yield is 0.05% APY and for 6 to 12 months it’s 0.10% APY. For 12 to 24 months the return is 0.30% APY and for 24 to 36 months it’s 0.70% APY. For 36 to 48 months the return is 0.95% APY and for 48 to 60 months it’s 1.10% APY.

Finally, on the 60 to 84 month term the return is 1.20% APY and for 84 months or more it’s 1.45% APY.

While not necessarily the highest CD rates available nationally, these current CD rates at Fifth Third Bank are competitive for some terms. Fifth Third Bank is fully FDIC insured.
