How EverBank CDs and rates compare
EverBank’s CDs are very high, offering up to 4.15% APY on the nine-month standard CD term. Across the rest of EverBank’s offerings, rates are all above average. For example, the national average rate for a 12-month CD is 1.81%, and EverBank’s 12-month CD has a 4% APY. (1)
However, a few banks offer slightly higher CD rates. Even with those few banks that beat it out, EverBank is still very competitive.
One of the only downsides with EverBank is its strict and hefty early withdrawal penalties. You could face an early withdrawal penalty of 456 days of earned interest on a five-year CD. This penalty is extremely high, especially considering that most banks only penalize you for up to 180 days for withdrawing early.

We rate CDs and share certificates on a scale ranging from one to five stars based on what matters most to you. We consider two factors equally when rating CDs: minimum deposits and annual percentage yields (APYs) relative to term length. If a bank requires a different minimum opening deposit depending on the chosen term, we rate the CD based on the average minimum deposit across all terms. And although some institutions offer CDs with terms ranging from one week to 20 years, we only consider term lengths the FDIC uses in its monthly updates on national rates.
