    Interest rates on deposit accounts are generally pretty low right now. You might try looking for banks who's focus is more on retail/consumer banking. They tend to offer rates a few bips higher than banks that are more commercial and lending based.

    Best thing would just be to call different banks and see what they are offering.

    Are you locked in at that rate for the whole 4 years? A lot of banks offer something called Step Up CD's. Where you are locked in at the current rate for the term of the CD and it can't go lower, but if rates do improve, then the rate on your CD moves up to the new rate.

    CD rates at traditional banks are pretty low, right now. I would look at non-traditional banks for higher rates: Credit Unions, Online Banks (like Ally) or even some insurance companies.

    Re: Certificate of Deposit?

    I called about 10 banks and credit unions. Not a single one knows what a step up cd is. I can't find anyone selling offering them online either. I want a long term one but don't want to be locked into a certain rate for 4/5 years.

    Credit unions usually have better rates than local banks. Also, internet banks usually have the best but there are usually strings attached.

    Good luck.

    Of course you would suggest a credit union since you are the the lead teller for one.

    Dude at my bank tried to talk me out of a Roth. That was day I decided not to have those conversations with him.
