CD Rates

A Certificate of Deposit, of CD is similar to a savings account that earns interest, but different in that you can choose to a length of time (typically anywhere from 3 months to 5 years) that you will not touch your savings. The reason you may choose this option is that banks typically offer higher interest rates because they know you are not going to withdraw the money. Banks can then loan your money out, and pay you a higher Bank Rate to allow you to earn even more money.

Certificate of Deposit

Our Bank customers are always looking for new clients who want to open savings accounts and CD accounts. A CD, often called a time deposit is insured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) up to $100,000 per person ($250,000 on retirement accounts), and has a fixed maturity date chosen by you ranging from three months to five years. Banks pay higher interest rates than a savings account, but there is often a penalty for withdrawing money before the maturity date. If you want to save money and not touch it, CD’s are a safe way to increase your interest rate.
