Is the Highest West Virginia CD Rate the Best Choice?

CD rates in West Virginia can vary greatly, which is why it’s always a good feeling when you discover a great rate. But should you sign up for the CD immediately, and is that the best financial move? The answer is yes, but there are a number of factors you should consider before signing up. Top CD rates generally don’t last long, but that doesn’t mean you should panic. Take a second to review the account thoroughly first if you have time.

The most important thing for you is the overall yield of the account, even if the high rate is only promotional. That small window where you’re earning a high rate could give you more overall than the next highest CD account. Also, check how long you’ll be without access to your money before the CD matures. This could make a difference as many are not comfortable without their funds for an extended period of time.
