There's much to "appreciate" about a Certificate of Deposit (CD). Not only does your money appreciate while it earns a steady fixed interest rate... you'll also appreciate the higher-than-average earnings over a traditional savings account. CDs are a low-risk investment that offer: 

  • Competitive, fixed-rate interest earnings
  • Rates higher than standard savings 
  • More guarantee than other risky investments 
  • Set aside for future savings goals 
  • A wide range of terms available (from 182 Days to 60 Months) 
  • No setup or maintenance fees 

CDs are also FDIC insured up to $250,000, which means your money is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. That's an investment with peace of mind.

(See CDARS section below for FDIC insurance option on amounts greater than $250,000)

*(APY) Annual Percentage Yield effective as of 11/26/24. $1,000 minimum deposit is required to open a new CD. Interest is calculated using the daily balance method. Interest is compounded and credited quarterly. Early withdrawal penalties may apply.
