What were interest rates for bank savings accounts in early 1990s?
LWLowery
The annual average for savings account interest rates in 1990 is reported as being 14.23%, which is insanely high. These rates were most likely affected by the Savings and Loan Crisis of the 80s/early 90s, because in the following years the rates dropped to much more typical numbers: 4.XX%, 5.XX%, etc. 1990 was the golden year to open a savings account :)

Where can I find information on CD savings accounts?
To obtain information on a CD savings account, you could go to your bank (assuming that you are banking somewhere.) and ask for the different "package plans" they have. Credit Unions also offer information on CD savings accounts. However, be sure you factor in with whatever plan you choose the time it takes for the CD to mature because early withdrawal, in most cases, could cost you up to 6 months in interest.

CD Interest Rates - The Basics?
First off what is a CD? A CD is a certificate of deposit; the consumer deposits a set amount of money for a set time for a higher interest rate than a savings account. This CD accounts are similar to savings accounts, because they are both insured and relatively risk free. CD accounts always have set time limits until they mature. These time limits often began with three months and can go as high as five years. Because the customer has agreed to keep the money on deposit for a decided set of terms, the banking institution will grant them a higher interest rate than that on a savings account. In most cases, it is a fixed rate. However, they may have a variable rate also. The variable accounts generally only allow an increase in interest rate wants. What are the CD Interest Rate Guidelines? 1. Usually, the higher the deposit, the higher the interest rate. 2. Normally, the longer you agree to have that money deposited, the higher the interest rate you will receive. 3. A personal account will often receive a higher interest rate than a business account. 4. If the bank offering the CD account is not insured by the FDIC or the NCUA, it may offer in a higher interest rate. 5. Smaller banks may offer higher interest rates than larger banking conglomerates. Things to Remember A CD account will have penalties for early withdrawal. The penalty for early withdrawal is intended to be a deterrent to prevent such a withdrawal. This penalty cannot be changed in an insured account before its maturities date. The owner of the CD account can generally choose to have the insurance reinvested or to have the insurance sent to another account periodically. Over the past 20 to 30 years, the CD account interest rates have dropped dramatically. Currently rates are ranging from .77% to 1.70% with most paying somewhere in between. However, savings account interest has also decreased ranging from approximately 1.0% to 1.5% unless you have over 10,000 in savings then the percentage rate increases. Depending on your needs, a CD may be the way to go.
