    The 30-day early withdrawal penalty on a 1-yr cd is really tough to beat. I had been a big fan of these No Penalty CDs at Ally and CIT, but this is a far better rate and the risk-reward makes perfect sense. I've also opened an account with Forbright which has a 3 month Early Withdrawal Penalty. I think Ally is 2 months but they are not rate competitive. 2 or 3 months is very fair. These other players that charge six months are just hoping for you to have a misfortune or to get out quickly if rates go higher.

    One year at 5.28% with a 30 day Early Withdrawal Penalty is tough to beat, (except in the Treasury market where I can get the same terms and it is state tax free).

    The rate is not always competitive (but I am checking now on October 3, 2022 and it is above Ally, Barclays, Marcus, Synchrony). I still give CIBC an A+. It is all about transfers. Theirs are easy, reliable.

    I was a long time customer. I took balances down below $200 in 2020 in order to buy a house during pandemic. I had always planned to deposit again in a rising rate environment. I logged back on today and kaboom, they took all my money in fees for having a low balance. I also have accounts with some of the others (Marcus, Ally, CitizensAccess). I recommend those ones and not this one as they would never steal from me.
