Wallkill Valley Federal Savings & Loan is growing and we are committed to helping to help our community grow right along with us. Part of that is getting to know our customers and offering the products and services to help them reach their financial goals. If saving money is part of your 2018 resolution list, then you’ll want to continue reading. We are talking about CDs which are a secure move in the direction of your financial goals.
What is a CD?
A CD or Certificate of Deposit is a termed savings account that brings a higher yield than a traditional savings account.
The idea is that you open a CD in order to put your money away for a defined period of time for a guaranteed rate of interest. The terms can vary, anywhere from 1 month to 5 years.
The Good
The benefit of a CD is that the rates are often higher than a typical savings or money market account and tend to increase as the length of the term increases. CDs are also considered low risk because they have a predictable rate of return. CDs are also insured by the FDIC.
The not so good
The down side is that you will not have easy access to your cash during that time frame and will face penalties for early withdrawal. Additionally, there may be requirements for the minimum deposit amount, certainly more than your run of the mill savings account.
The bottom line
If you are looking for a place for your savings to grow over the next two years, we have a new CD product that could be a very nice option for you.
