An Overview of CDs in Rochester

In Rochester, NY there are lots of ways to invest in the future.  One of the safest investments is a Certificate of Deposit, or CD.

What is a CD?

A CD is a fixed-term account, usually lasting anywhere from 3 months to 10 years. CDs are a very safe banking option. They usually have a higher interest rate than a typical savings account because of the fixed term.  In other words, your deposit isn’t supposed to be accessed until the end of the term agreement.

What Else Should I Know About CDs?

The biggest problem with a Certificate of Deposit are the potential fees that may be assessed if you have to access your money before the term is over. In some cases they are minimal, but if you aren’t financially secure, than a typical savings account may be a better option.
