    Ive never been good with percentages(at least small percentages) or trying to figure out monies to be made on a CD

    $10,000 required opening balance on a 3-month CD

    APY: 0.01%
    Interest Rate: 0.01%
    Portfolio Relationship APY: 0.01%
    Portfolio Relationship Interest Rate: 0.01%

    Help me understand someone.....

    You'll earn a dime. I've heard positive things about Charles Schwab.

    I could very well be wrong because I am far from an expert on banking interest etc, but in my opinion. $10,000 X .01% = $100 per year.

    You can get higher interest rates on a passbook account. Is there some reason you want the bank to make more off of your money then you do?

    Im definitely not interested in letting the bank make more money off of my money than I would, this was just an example that Wells Fargo offers.......

    My point is that CD's are of such low yield these days, and have been for a decade now, that they aren't even worth considering, in my opinion. Same applies to savings accounts.

    Passbook is .95 so better than WF. But there are other options that pay better.
