Frequently Asked Questions About Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
Gain valuable insights into Certificates of Deposit (CDs) with this FAQ, designed to educate and guide you through the key aspects of CDs, ensuring you understand this investment option before committing your funds.
-
What is a CD?
Open or Close
A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a special savings account where you put your money for a set period, known as a term. Unlike regular savings accounts with changing interest rates, CDs offer a fixed interest rate, usually higher, helping you reach your savings goals quicker. But remember, you can't take out your money before the term ends without paying a penalty.
-
What is the difference between APY and APR?
Open or Close
APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes the effect of compounding interest, showing the total interest earned in a year, while APR (Annual Percentage Rate) only shows the simple interest rate without compounding. This is why APY is usually higher than APR for the same product.
