FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an investment certificate?
Answer:
An investment certificate, or certificate of deposit (CD), is a type of savings account that has a specific maturity date and fixed rate. Longer terms have higher interest rates, and shorter terms have lower interest rates. Investment certificates tend to offer higher yields than other savings accounts; however, access to your funds is restricted for the length of the term.
-
What if I need to withdraw my funds before my certificate's maturity date?
Answer:
For certificates with terms less than a year, the early withdrawal penalty is 90 days of dividends. For terms equal to or greater than one year, the early withdrawal penalty is 180 days of dividends.
