Understanding Certificates of Deposit

  • - CDs offer higher rates than savings accounts for locking your money
  • - FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank
  • - Early withdrawal penalties typically 3-12 months of interest
  • - Longer terms usually offer higher APY rates
  • - APY already includes compounding - it is the effective annual rate
  • - CD laddering: spread deposits across multiple terms for flexibility
  • - Consider inflation when locking money for long periods
