Best CD Rates in New Jersey – Up to 4.60% APY!

editorial staff
January 26, 2023

APY GUY tracks and publishes noteworthy APYs (annual percentage yields) on both fixed and variable rate deposit accounts from hundreds of FDIC-insured banks and NCUA-insured credit unions nationwide.

In this January 2023 report, we’ve published what we’ve found to be the top CD (certificate of deposit) rates available to residents in New Jersey. While we do our best to keep rates updated on a monthly basis at the minimum, we advise that you check with each financial institution individually to get updated CD and savings rates.

We should also note that although all of the CDs on this list are available to residents in the state of New Jersey, many are issued by institutions based outside of the state and/or without locations in the state.

According to FDIC state profile data (download here) there are 58 banks serving the state of New Jersey with combined assets of just over $195.5 billion.

There are also 144 credit unions with headquarters in New Jersey serving 960,000+ members with combined assets of just over $15.65 billion according to CreditUnionsOnline.com.

The largest credit union in New Jersey by member size and assets held is Affinity Federal Credit Union, serving ~135,000 members in the state and holding $2.3 billion in assets.

Credit unions and banks of all sizes within the state of New Jersey and throughout the country offer federally insured CDs with varying terms, generally ranging from a few months to 5 to 10 years. The FDIC insures bank deposits up to $250,000 per depositor and the NCUA insures credit union deposits up to $250,000 per depositor.

Generally speaking, with fixed-rate CDs, the longer you lock up your funds (i.e. the greater the term) the higher the APY you will earn.

That said, savings rates – both fixed and variable – at banks and credit unions are generally correlated to Federal Reserve rates which are now anchored between 4.25% and 4.50% following the FED’s final rate hike of last year on December 14th. The FED is still expected to raise rates (albeit by smaller increments) in Q1 of 2023. You can read more in our CD rate forecast.

Below is our report on the best CD Rates in New Jersey for the month of January 2023.
