With interest rates at higher levels than consumers may be accustomed to seeing, you might not realize that now is a great time to safely invest your savings and make them work for you with a certificate of deposit (or “CD”) from The Federal Savings Bank. How does a certificate of deposit work? CDs are like savings accounts, with typically higher yields in exchange for restricted access to your money for a pre-defined period of time.
As a federally-chartered bank, we offer CDs that are insured by the FDIC, significantly minimizing your investment risk while offering a sensible and predictable option for you to grow your family’s wealth for the future.
How Does a Certificate of Deposit Work?
Similar to a savings account, when you open a certificate of deposit, you will deposit your funds with a bank. The bank will periodically pay interest in return. Unlike a savings account, you will be committing to leave your money with the bank until the term is up. That means once your CD is active, you won’t be allowed to access your funds for the length of the CD term without paying a penalty.
Despite this, if you’re looking to increase your wealth, CDs are regarded as a relatively secure investment choice in comparison to other options available to American investors, as they are less vulnerable to the volatility of the stock market. That reliability is one of the perks of choosing a CD: when you’re making your initial deposit, you will know exactly how much to expect back at the end of the term. Other investment opportunities, like the stock market, are associated with more uncertainty than CDs, and often represent more risk than the guaranteed return of a CD.
