Certificate of Deposit

Certificate of deposit or also know as CD is a time deposit, financial goods that are offered by credit unions, savings institutions and banks to the consumers. Certificate of deposits are virtually free of risk as they are similar to the savings account as they are insured. Howsoever they are bit different from the savings account as they are fixed for specific period of time (that can be from three months even five years i.e. user specific) and of fixed rate of interest. It is anticipated that CD is to be held by the customer until is matured and only then it can be with drawled from bank with the given rate of interest. They are also called a fixed deposit which is made in banks. This is a way of collecting money by the banks from its customers for the purpose of lending. This brings money in the market and it helps increase liquidity in the market which makes it an integral part of the market.

In this exchange of keeping the money in deposit section on an agreed term, banks pay us the interest but the question where do they get the money to pay interest, the answer is simple they collect the money from customers and lend this money as loans at higher interest rates to firms and people. Usually there are fixed rates in CD but banks also offer variable rate. Other than local banks CD are also offered by the independent sales person and also brokerage firms to the investors that are going for safer investments. These sales persons are called deposit brokers. Mainly these brokers offer higher interest rate on CD by assuring to get specific amount to the institution.

However early withdrawals i.e. before CD is matured as a rule are subjected to considerable penalty. These penalties make sure that the investor's best interest is not to withdraw its money until it is of utmost importance. Usually banks mail notice to the investor that its CD matures shortly and further directions are required. Notice mainly offers the principal amount along with the rate of interest or rolling it over i.e. depositing the total amount into another CD. Generally there is a given time after the CD has been matured that the CD holder can collect the cash without paying any penalty. The more the duration of the deposit, the more interest it fetches.
