Certificates of Deposits (CDs)

When you want a higher than average interest rate, a set rate of return and assurance that your funds are insured, use a CD for your savings and retirement goals.

LEARN MORE about certificates of deposit (CDs)

A Money Market account is generally a higher yielding interest-bearing savings account.

Savings and Money Markets are similar in that they help with saving money. The primary difference is that a Money Market generally pays a slightly higher interest rate, based on balances retained in the account. Money Market accounts may have higher minimum balance requirements to maintain. A Money Market account also allows the ability to utilize checks, unlike a Savings account.

The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects bank depositors against the loss of their insured deposits in the event that an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

FDIC deposit insurance protects bank customers in the event that an FDIC-insured depository institution fails. Bank customers don’t need to purchase deposit insurance; it is automatic for any deposit account opened at an FDIC-insured bank. Deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. You may have more coverage based on your account titling and beneficiaries. Visit FDIC: Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) to calculate the insurance coverage of your deposit accounts.
