How are investments looking for Chase? Recent Chase CD rates are down just like any other bank out there right now, and their money market rates may not be too appealing, but Chase does offer some CD specials if you have a little more money than the average person to invest. For their regular certificate of deposits, only $1000 is required to invest.

Below is a list of the average CD investments for short and long terms with Chase Bank, starting with 6 months and ending up and 36 months. These rates are good as of May 13, and are subject to change by the bank at any time.

• 6-Month – 0.25%
• 12-Month – 0.25%
• 18-Month – 0.75%
• 24-Month – 1.01%
• 36-Month – 1.01%

These rates may not look too appealing, but as mentioned in the outset, if you have the money to invest, then there are special rates which can be as much as 3 times these rates for various terms.

These rates are quite a difference as you can see, and if you don’t mind having your money tied up for 36 months, a rate of 2 percent is not bad considering what many other banks are offering.

The days of 6% CD’s is over for right now, so this is the next best thing until the economy recovers. If you prefer local banking, you can also find rates in the upper 2% range with a lot less money required to invest. This may be a more ideal option for you if you do not have $10,000 to put into a Chase CD.
