These are the highest CD (certificate of deposit) rates we have found for the residents of Alaska. These rates are listed in the 6 month CDs, 12 month CDs and 24 month CDs. After going through many local banks and credit unions serving the cities of Anchorage, Juneau and the surrounding state of Alaska, we have found that you may find higher rates with national banks than with local ones.

Be sure to remember that these rates are time sensitive and that the information provided may be out of date depending on the date of this article. CD rates are constantly changing so we encourage you to keep up to date with our list of the best CD rates currently available.

We have put together a list of the highest paying CD rates based on the 6 month, 12 month and 24 month terms. We already know that the longer the maturity the higher the CD rate will be, but wanted to keep our list simplified.
