Giantbank, the online division of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Landmark Bank, has a 12-month certificate of deposit with a 2.01% annual percentage yield (APY).  If you’re looking for a longer or shorter term, take a look at the follow CD rates:

• 91 days –  0.75% APY
• 182 days – 1.56% APY
• 9 months – 1.61% APY
• 24 months – 2.11% APY
• 36 months – 2.16% APY
• 60 months – 2.31% APY

The CD rates were current as of Sept. 2, but are subject to change. Also, certain fees may reduce the overall earnings on an account. Interest on the account is compounded daily and credited to accounts monthly.

You need a minimum deposit of $2,500 to open an account. Certificates of deposit can be opened online or by mail. Account information can be accessed either online or by telephone 24 hours a day.

If you take money out of your CD before the end of the term, you’ll pay an early withdrawal penalty. However, you can have interest that is credited in the term before maturity mailed to you or transferred to a Giantbank checking or money market account without any penalties.

Unless you notify the bank, your CD will automatically renew upon reaching maturity. You have 10 calendar days after maturity to withdraw money from the CD without getting hit with a penalty.
