Certificates of deposit (CDs) are low-risk savings that can increase your earnings with interest.

If you leave the money alone during the investment duration, known as the “term,” we will pay you an interest rate higher than what you would have earned in a money market or checking account. All gains from CDs are taxable as income, unless they are in a tax-deferred (IRA) or tax-free (Roth IRA) account.

CDs are among the safest investment a person or business can make. The interest rate is determined ahead of time. Your deposit may be insured up to $250,000.

Interest is compounded daily and credited to your account based on your chosen terms.  Interest credited monthly or quarterly on the anniversary date. Accessing funds from your CD prior to maturity will subject you to early withdrawal penalties.

Carter Tip: Before opening a CD, make sure you have a plan for emergencies.
