Information to consider when opening Bank of America 6 Month CD Rates:

A six month CD is common maturity term made available by many bank and is short term fixed interest investment or savings product. It is illiquid compared to a liquid savings account but has a higher premium. When determining the interest rate to set for this particular product, BofA is influenced like other banks by the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve (independent central bank of the United States). The 'Fed' who sets the 'fed funds rate' and provides economic forecasts on inflation can influence significantly whether Bank of America puts its interests for CDs up, down or the same. For 6 month Bank of America CDs, it would consider the current policies and short term forecasts of federal reserve as well as its net interest margins, BofA liquidity (deposits are a cash flow source of funding to fund activities and provides liquidity), regulations, competition and loan to deposit ratio profiles.

The current 6 Month interest rate below is for the Standard CD/IRA Product and was calculated for the State of California.
