Start earning more on your savings.
What is a Certificate? Is it right for me?
Certificates are similar to a Certificate of Deposit (CD) and allow your money to earn money. Yeah, you read that right! You can store money in a Certificate for a set amount of time to earn cash at a higher rate than most traditional savings accounts. Typically, the longer term of your Certificate, the higher rate of return.
Remember, the amount of money you open your Certificate with is locked in. You cannot add additional funds for the duration of the term. This makes it easy for you, set it and forget it!
