There are two types of inquiries that a company may make into your credit record,i.e. “‘hard inquiry” or “soft inquiry”.
If a company makes a hard inquiry into your credit record,it will damage your credit score temporarily.Your credit score may be damaged only by a hard inquiry while a soft inquiry does not affect your credit score. 
If you are planning to get a mortgage or you need a car loan then in this situation even a few points difference in your credit score cannot be ignored and this small difference in your credit score may magnify into a considerably big change. So we need to know that how can we decide whether the inquiry is going to be “hard” or “soft”?

I have searched internet for a good list of Cash Deposit Rates for all US Banks but did not find anything useful except a forum from where I picked this info. I am not sure if it the most recent list but this is what is available at the moment. best thing about this list of CD Rates is that links to bank websites are there. so ever if the list is not current list of CD rates it is very useful. If you know another source of good CD rates or have up to date information, please leave a comment so I can update the list accordingly.
Use Find Function on your browser to find the CD Rate or bank you are looking for…. (usually Ctrl+F)
