One of the things I like to do is have Certificates of Deposits(CD). I was able to get a 1% rate at US bank some time ago with a 1-month rollover. However, CD rates are constantly shifting, meaning that unless I manually search out CD rates, I don't know what's the going rate.

So I'm wondering if there's an RSS feed or other push mechanism online that I can use to track CD rates.

Hi Paul! Welcome to the site. This is a very interesting question; I hadn't thought about RSS for financial rate updates but sounds like it would be useful. +1 for your question. – Chris W. Rea♦ Jan 20 at 1:12

Well, I've looked, but I can't quite find exactly what I think you're asking for. Here's what I did find, though:

There's a feed at Bankrate.com about CD rates. Unfortunately, it isn't a detailed, structured and predictably updated RSS feed of just CD rates. Rather, it has articles about CD rates, including regularly published national surveys of CD rates, which could be useful:

Bankrate.com also has this CD Rates search tool:

Perhaps if they added the capability to poll the search results as an RSS feed, or set up an alert, then it would be closer to what you're looking for?

MoneyRates is another place where you can get a list of short term rates, but again, no RSS feed:

Check out this CD Rates subcategory from Bankaholic.com (which was bought out by Bankrate.com):

They also have a page listing the top 25 CD Rates, with information from Bankrate.com:

Sadly, while there is a Bankaholic RSS feed, it doesn't appear to have an RSS feed for just the CD Rates subcategory or the top 25 rates page.
