What Is a Certificate of Deposit (CD)?
A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a type of savings account that offers a fixed interest rate for a set period of time. It’s a safe and predictable way to grow your money—perfect if you want to earn more than a regular savings account without taking investment risks.
How Does a CD Work?
- Choose Your Term – CDs come in different lengths, like 6 months, 1 year, or even 5 years.
- Lock in Your Money – Once you deposit funds, you agree not to withdraw until the term ends.
- Earn Guaranteed Interest – Your money grows at a fixed rate (higher than a typical savings account).
- Cash Out & Enjoy – At the end of the term (also called “maturity”), you get your original deposit plus the earned interest.
Why Choose a CD?
- ✅ Higher Interest Rates – CDs typically offer better rates than standard savings accounts.
- ✅ No Market Risk – Unlike stocks or crypto, your money is safe and grows predictably.
- ✅ Great for Short-Term Goals – Perfect if you're saving for a vacation, new car, or emergency fund.
Are There Any Downsides?
- 🔹 Early Withdrawal Penalty – If you take out money before the term ends, you might pay a fee.
- 🔹 Funds Are Locked In – Unlike a savings account, you can’t access your money anytime.
How Much Can I Earn?
Our CD rates update monthly to ensure you get the best possible return on your savings. That means when you deposit your money into a 12-month CD, it will grow at a higher rate than a regular savings account—giving you more earnings with zero effort.
