Savings and Certificate Options
Certificates
Certificates are similar to savings accounts in that they’re insured and virtually risk-free. They’re also different from savings accounts because a fixed interest rate and a specific, fixed term (often three months, six months, one year or five years) is attached to them.
In order to gain the best yield on a certificate, your plan and commitment should be to hold it until full maturity, at which point, the money originally deposited can be withdrawn, along with the accrued interest.
- Monthly service fee: $0
- Deposit insurance: At least $250,000
- Renewal at maturity: Automatic
- Early withdrawal: Penalty applies
