The verdict: Chase vs U.S. Bank
U.S. Bank pays the higher APY on 3 of the 3 terms both banks offer for a $10,000 deposit. Chase leads on 0.
At the headline 1 year term, U.S. Bank pays 3.40% APY against 0.50% at Chase, a $290.00 difference on $10,000. Each bank's best offer right now: Chase pays up to 3.50% (8 months, relationship) and U.S. Bank up to 3.50% (9 months).
The rate is only half the decision. Chase and U.S. Bank charge different penalties if you break the CD early — compared below — and Both are federally insured up to $250,000 per depositor, so safety is equal under the limit.
