Certificate Deposit

A Certificate Deposit (CD) is a financial product offered by banks and credit unions that allows you to deposit a fixed amount of money for a specified period at a predetermined interest rate. CDs typically offer higher interest rates than regular savings accounts, making them a popular choice for conservative investors looking to grow their savings with minimal risk. Early withdrawal from a certificate deposit usually incurs a penalty, so they are best suited for funds you don’t need immediate access to.
