Certificate of Deposit (CD)
In life, there are very few sure things. In financial circles, there are fewer still. But a Certificate of Deposit1 is an exception. It's a savings product that features higher interest rates than most traditional savings accounts. You lock into that higher rate on day one. And when the term amount matures - six months, five years or somewhere in between - you'll have the satisfaction of a secure investment, ready to meet your financial goals.

Common Questions
What is the difference between a CD versus an IRA?
The biggest difference between a CD and an IRA is the length of time you plan to have the investment. CDs are a savings tool with specific term investment options. Penalties may apply if you break the term agreement of a CD. IRAs are a tax incentive savings tool for working individuals with earned income and invested until retirement.
A Traditional IRA can reduce the taxable income each year a contribution is made. A Roth IRA does not reduce the taxable income; however, it can provide tax advantages at the time of withdrawal. IRAs are a tool to supplement social security income at retirement.
What makes a Traditional IRA different from a Roth IRA?
Generally, a Traditional IRA is tax deductible for the tax year designated. Earnings are tax deferred until a withdrawal is made. Distributions are added as regular income. Roth IRA contributions are usually nondeductible. Interest earned is also tax deferred and can be tax free if you withdraw after age 59 ½ and have had the Roth IRA for at least five years. The Roth IRA does not have a mandatory distribution. Both types of IRAs do have specific income qualifications. Try our free Traditional and Roth IRA calculators to help you determine which one is the best fit for your needs.
Are there any contribution or withdrawal restrictions for an IRA?
Yes, tax laws change every year. View our chart above for the most current contribution guidelines. Withdrawals before age 59 ½ may incur an IRS early withdrawal 10% tax penalty. Traditional IRAs require an annual minimum distribution starting at age 72. Special circumstances have been established for early distribution, such as, first time home purchase, education expenses, medical expenses, health insurance after unemployment, IRS levy and death.
What is a CD ladder?
Laddering your Certificates of Deposit (CDs) allows you to space out (or ladder) the maturity dates so you can have a mix of maturity dates and rates. In a low-rate environment, you may be hesitant to put all your funds in a 5-year CD just to get the highest rate. Instead, you could put some funds in a 12-month CD, some in 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, and 60 months. Then, when the 12-month CD matures, you reinvest that for 60 months so you can get the highest rate. When the 24-month CD matures, you reinvest that for 60 months for the highest rate, etc. Eventually, each year when a 60-month CD matures, you can reinvest it for another 60 months and always get the highest rate offered, yet still have some of your funds maturing each year. You can also try our free CD ladder calculator that shows you the benefits of investing in a series of Certificates of Deposit with different maturities vs. a single long-term CD.
