What is a Certificate of Deposit (CD)?
A CD is a type of savings account that offers a higher interest rate in return for your commitment to a certain term length. During your CD term, any withdrawals are subject to a penalty fee.
CDs are an attractive option for anyone who wants to grow their savings faster. They also offer a guaranteed rate of return–there is no risk involved in stashing your money in a CD. Before you open a CD account, you know what your interest rate will be and how much your savings will grow during the CD term.
What is CDARS?
If you have more than $250,000 in savings, IntraFi® Network Deposits (formerly the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service or CDARS) gives you access to millions in FDIC insurance so you can earn a guaranteed rate of return on your savings without risk.
