What is a Certificate of Deposit?
A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a type of savings account that holds a fixed amount of money for a fixed period of time. In exchange for keeping your money deposited for the agreed-upon time, the bank pays you interest.
Key Benefits:
- FDIC Insured: Protected up to $250,000 per depositor
- Guaranteed Returns: Fixed interest rate for the entire term
- Higher Rates: Typically offer better rates than savings accounts
- Low Risk: One of the safest investment options available
Important Note:
Early withdrawal from CDs typically results in penalties. Make sure you won't need the money before the maturity date.
