Whatever your level of familiarity with CDs is, GNFCU is here to provide you with all the answers and insights you need to save greater at our community credit union!
What Is a Certificate of Deposit?
Great question! A Certificate of Deposit, commonly referred to as a CD, is a secure and reliable investment option for individuals looking to grow their savings over a fixed period of time. When deciding to open a CD, your bank or credit union will provide you with an Annual Percentage Yield or APY, which represents interest earned for a specific duration.
Unlike other investment avenues, CDs offer a predictable and guaranteed return on your investment, making CDs a popular choice for those seeking stability and a steady financial growth strategy.
For a limited time only, Greater Niagara FCU is offering its own Certificate of Deposit offer at 5.30% APY for 13 months.
What Are the Benefits of Opening a Certificate of Deposit?
Opening a Certificate of Deposit (CD) offers a multitude of advantages for those seeking a safer avenue for investing than stocks and bonds.One of the primary benefits is the non-volatile nature of CDs, providing a guaranteed rate of return. Unlike the unpredictable fluctuations of the stock market, CDs offer locked rates, ensuring a clear and predictable return on your deposit over a specific time period.This assurance is particularly valuable as banks and credit unions are unable to alter the agreed-upon rate, safeguarding your earnings against any future reductions. By locking in your money for the agreed-upon term, you can watch your savings grow steadily while enjoying peace of mind, knowing your investment is well-protected.
