Our Take on TD Bank
The Good

- Monthly fees can be waived
- Highly rated mobile apps (iOS: 4.8, Android: 4.1)
- Access to physical branches
Considerations
- Requires opening a checking account (bundled)
- High minimum balance ($100000) to earn APY
- Yield is below current market leaders
TD Bank offers the TD Signature Savings account with an APY of 2.36%. This is a tiered savings account, meaning rates may vary based on location and eligibility for the Bump Rate. To earn the 2.36% APY, you must link an eligible TD account and maintain a minimum balance of $100,000; otherwise, the maximum APY drops to 0.05%.

How to read these metrics▼
Trends & Velocity
- Trend
- The general direction of the rate over the analyzed period. Useful for spotting if a bank is currently aggressive or pulling back.
- Slope (bps/mo)
- Speed of change. A high positive number means they raise rates quickly. 10 bps = 0.10%.
- Rate Changes / Mo
- "Twitchiness." High frequency means the rate changes constantly; low frequency means it's stable.
Risk & Range
- High/Low
- The absolute ceiling and floor of the rate during the 356-day window.
- Volatility Score
- Lower is better for predictability. It indicates how wildly the rate swings relative to its average.
- Days Since Change
- If this number is high (e.g., >90), the rate is very sticky. If low, it changed recently.
Why track this? Understanding volatility helps you avoid "bait-and-switch" rates. A steady, rising slope is ideal; high volatility often signals a temporary teaser rate.
