But be mindful of the drawbacks to CDs that you should know, like penalty fees for early access. We share the pros and cons to CDs so that you are able to accurately weigh your options when considering opening a CD.

Just put $6000 into a 5 month CD at 4.65%. Cash was just sitting around anyways losing value from inflation. Might as well try to get that value back since I didn't need to touch that money for awhile.

So, a CD account is a way to give someone else your money to invest it on the market and potentially make X amount of money. Then you get some interest as payment 🤔

TD bank is offering a 4.5-5% cd for 12-18 months. For 10-250k deposit. I was going to do it but I dont want to lock that money up so I went with there 2.5% savings product. Less gain but have the money when I need it

Do you earn the APY each month for the term of the CD? How does this work? My CU has a special offer going on now. 4.75% APY for 13 months. I'm considering putting in $500 as its the minimum.
@Omni0404
@Omni0404 6 ай бұрын
How I've always seen it work is that those advertised APY amounts usually require you to keep your interest in the CD until it comes to term. You can choose to have the interest go somewhere else but your interest rate will be lower. Just make sure they don't have it set to auto-renew if you plan to cash it out.

@mclaine33
@mclaine33 3 ай бұрын
No the way it works is that you have to have all the money at once and it’s deposit in an account and then you can’t touch it until the maturity date. If you don’t have a bunch of cash, consider a high yield savings account. Usually they are offering around 4-4.5%

Gonna be taxed on interest earned. So divide that interest in half. Not worth it. If your going to tie up your money then might as well do an IRA. Higher rate of return.
