CD laddering is a savings strategy that spreads your money across multiple CDs to maintain frequent access to cash while receiving high-yielding returns. 

Frequently asked questions

A CD ladder is a savings strategy where you can take advantage of CD rates with varying terms, while having more control over accessing your money. To start, select your deposit amount and longest-term length. The deposit amount is then split up evenly across multiple CDs, and each CD created represents a rung in your ladder.

You can access your money every time a CD in your ladder matures.

Rates vary and are determined at the bank's discretion. Visit our Certificate of Deposit page to check out current rates.

You can reinvest your returns into a new CD, transfer into a U.S. Bank account or withdraw your funds.

No money can be added to pre-existing CDs in your ladder. However, you can open more CDs and add them to your ladder at any time.

Once you have funded your CD ladder, no deposit amounts, terms or rates can be adjusted.
