The best CD rates
for banks and
credit unions.

Built by someone with nearly a decade placing institutional CDs with banks and credit unions nationwide. We source the rates that aren't on Bankrate — negotiated, relationship-based, institutional-only CDs from community banks and credit unions that don't advertise publicly. You tell us your term and size. We find what the market doesn't show you.

I spent nearly a decade as a top producer placing institutional CDs with banks and credit unions nationwide. The rates that move serious institutional money aren't on Bankrate. They're negotiated directly with community bank treasury desks, LID credit unions open to nonmember deposits, and newly chartered banks paying a premium to build their balance sheet. That's what we source.

DepositDesk is what I'd build if I were starting that business from scratch today. Faster, leaner, more transparent — and built around the rates that actually matter to treasury teams deploying real liquidity.

Our proprietary
rate sheet goes
deeper.

What you see above is the public market. What our subscribers get access to is something different entirely — negotiated rates from community banks and credit unions that don't advertise publicly, aren't on Bankrate, and aren't available to retail depositors at any price.

These institutions want one thing: a quiet, reliable source of institutional deposits in the $500K to $10M range. We're that source. And we bring those rates directly to treasury teams who know how to move fast when the right rate appears.

What you won't find on Bankrate
Negotiated jumbo rates from community banks offering above-market APYs on deposits $500K and above — rates that aren't published anywhere.
Low Income Designated credit unions open to nonmember institutional deposits — a market most CFOs don't even know exists.
Newly chartered banks under 5 years old actively paying a premium for institutional deposits to build their balance sheet.
Terms up to 120 months from institutions that don't issue retail CDs at all — institutional-only programs with no consumer-facing product.
These rates are available by subscription or by calling us directly. We match you with the right institution for your term, size, and eligibility requirements.

A DepositDesk subscription is a data service. You pay for the rate information. What you do with it is entirely up to you — place it yourself, have your own counsel handle it, or call us to place it on your behalf.

Important distinction

A subscription is a data purchase only. DepositDesk acts as your information provider, not your broker. No broker relationship exists, no brokerage fees apply, and no placement paperwork is required unless you separately engage us to place on your behalf. You're buying intelligence. What you do with it is your business.

Data subscription — rate sheet only
$99 /month

Full institution names, APYs, minimums, and eligibility daily. You place everything yourself. We're just your data source.

No broker relationship. No placement fees. No paperwork from us.

MOST POPULAR
Data subscription + placement credit
$199 /month

Everything in the $99 plan plus your monthly fee is credited dollar-for-dollar against any placement fee when you engage us to place. A $2M placement at 0.05% generates $1,000 — your $199 disappears instantly.

Broker relationship only begins if and when you ask us to place. Your call. Every time.
