Arvest Recognized as Best Regional Bank for CDs by Money

Arvest Bank has been recognized by finance brand Money in its Best Banks of 2026-2027 Awards, earning the title of Best Regional Bank: Midwest - "Best for CDs." The list was announced on Oct. 14 and can be viewed on Money.com.

To determine the 2026-2027 Best Banks list, Money evaluated account terms from 300 of the largest U.S. banking institutions, including national and online banks, credit unions, and regional and state banks. The methodology is designed to highlight institutions that provide the best banking experience and account offerings for consumers.

Money's evaluation focused on flagship accounts for everyday customers, placing particular emphasis on competitive interest rates, exceptional customer service and low or no fees. The analysis also factored in branch accessibility, ATM network size, online reviews, and third-party rankings such as J.D. Power to ensure a comprehensive view of the customer experience.

"Being named one of the nation's top regional banks and recognized specifically for our CD offerings is a great honor," said Amy Morbeck, Chief Product and Innovation Officer at Arvest Bank. "We constantly strive to provide financial solutions that help our customers securely grow their savings, and our competitive CD rates and flexible terms are a key part of that strategy. This award highlights Arvest's commitment to delivering exceptional value and top-tier customer service to the communities we serve."

Arvest's inclusion on Money's list adds to a growing roster of recent accolades. Arvest was named to Forbes' World's Best Banks list for the 8th consecutive year and was recognized as one of America's Most Innovative Companies by Fortune and Statista. Earlier this year, Arvest also made TIME's inaugural Best Financial Services list.
