Local interest rate-aggregating website, http://www.lasvegasbankingrates.com/, releases a new study examining savings account and CD interest rates in Las Vegas, Nevada, finding average deposit rates in the city beat the overall state averages, but fall below average rates for the U.S. as a whole. The investigation also identifies the ten best savings account rates in Las Vegas today.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) June 18, 2013
With an all-time low interest rate environment, growing savings through high-yield deposit accounts is a challenging strategy employed today. In fact, depositors can expect rates to remain near-zero through the rest of 2013 due to actions by the Federal Reserve. However, local banking site LasVegasBankingRates.com determines that Vegas residents have a few more options than depositors throughout the rest of the state in a new study examining interest rates in the city, state, and U.S. as a whole.
Using its database containing more than 5,000 national, local, and online banks and credit unions, LasVegasBankingRates.com found the average interest rates for savings accounts, as well as 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year CDs in Las Vegas, comparing these numbers against averages for all of Nevada and the United States.
The study finds average deposit interest rates in Las Vegas are slightly higher than rates aggregated for the entire state, though both city and state rates fall below national averages in all categories. Even so, the site gathered the top 10 highest savings account rates available in Las Vegas today to help local residents find the best savings options available nearby.

"Because savings rates are at an all-time low, it's easy for depositors to become discouraged," explains LasVegasBankingRates.com managing editor, Casey Bond. "However, there are high-yield opportunities at the local level, and it's important for savers to seek them out in an effort to remain protected against inflation," she adds.
