EverBank’s CD rates change frequently and are not independently re-verified as of this update — confirm current rates directly at everbank.com before opening a CD. Formerly known as TIAA Bank, EverBank is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, and operates primarily as an online/phone bank with a small network of staffed financial center branches (roughly a dozen in Florida, about 27 in California, and one in Flushing, NY) alongside its digital account opening. It has historically required a $1,000 minimum deposit for CDs — higher than some online banks with no minimum (Ally, Capital One) but within reach for most savers with an existing savings buffer.

Rates shown change frequently. Verify the current rate at everbank.com before opening an account.

How EverBank CD Pricing Typically Works

EverBank does not publish one fixed nationwide rate that stays constant — actual APYs vary by term and change with market conditions. The 12-month term has historically been among the more competitive terms in its lineup. Confirm current rates directly at everbank.com before opening a CD.

How Much Can You Earn? (Illustrative Only)

On a $10,000 deposit at an illustrative 12-month rate of 4.00% APY:

  • After 12 months: ~$10,400 ($400 in interest)

This figure is illustrative only and is not a confirmed current EverBank rate. Confirm the actual rate offered on your specific CD before calculating expected earnings, and compare against current rates at Ally, Marcus, and other online banks before deciding.

Early Withdrawal Penalties

Term Typical Penalty (confirm current terms)
24 months or less ~90 days of interest
More than 24 months ~180 days of interest

Confirm your CD’s exact penalty terms at account opening — this schedule can change. Always plan to hold an EverBank CD to maturity given the penalty structure.

EverBank vs. Ally and Marcus

Before choosing between EverBank and another online bank’s CD, compare each bank’s currently advertised rate, minimum deposit, and penalty terms directly on their own sites — rates move often enough that a comparison made even a few weeks ago may be stale. EverBank has historically required a $1,000 minimum deposit, higher than Ally’s $0 minimum; confirm current minimums for all banks you’re comparing.

EverBank’s Yield Pledge

EverBank has historically marketed a “Yield Pledge” — a stated commitment to keep its rates in a competitive tier relative to top online banks. This is marketing language, not a guaranteed rate; confirm the current specific rate rather than relying on the pledge alone.

CD Renewal at EverBank

EverBank CDs have historically renewed automatically into the same term at the prevailing rate at maturity. Confirm the current grace period directly with EverBank, since it can change. Review your renewal options before maturity, especially if you’re comparing EverBank’s renewal rate against current online bank offers.

Who Should Open an EverBank CD?

Best for:

  • Savers with $1,000 or more (confirm current minimum) who want a competitive online rate without maintaining a full banking relationship elsewhere
  • Former TIAA Bank customers already familiar with the platform
  • Anyone comparing top-tier online bank CD rates alongside Ally and Marcus

Consider alternatives if:

  • You have less than EverBank’s current minimum deposit (Ally or Capital One have historically had no minimum)
  • You need penalty-free access before maturity
  • You want the absolute highest rate at the time of opening — compare current rates at multiple banks
