CD Terms: Certificate of Deposit Terms

CD Terms-What are cd terms that you need to learn about before investing in certificate of deposit account?

CD accounts of today are offered in many different lengths, types, and different terms and conditions for each of those cd accounts. With so many options, terms, and types, each investor should take the time to educate themselves on the various terms available. By taking the time to learn some of the common terms you may face when investing, you can make the best investment choices possible, and maximize the return on your certificate of deposit investment.

CD Terms: What You Need to Know About Certificate of Deposit Terms

When you are ready to invest in a CD, you must ensure that you know all of the important terms of the deposit account. A bank or financial institution should be able to disclose all of the important terms to you when you go to open the account. If you plan to open a cd account online, then the terms should also be presented clearly on the page before you open the account. Always read the fine print!

Some terms you will want to pay close attention to include: what is the minimum deposit amount? How will the account compound interest, and at what interest rate (to get the annual percentage yield)? What are the early withdrawal terms? Does the CD allow a bump-up rate? Are there any CD fees listed in the terms? Will the CD auto renew?

These are just a few examples of some of the terms you will want to educate yourself on before investing. Banks vary dramatically in the terms offered. For example, some banks will not charge a penalty at all for early withdrawal, while some may offer a portion of interst earnings (or a flat fee). Some banks may not allow a bump-up in rate over the term, while others may offer 1 or even 2 bump ups.

This may seem like a lot of information to digest, but it is very important to understand some of the basic terms you will encounter when investing in CDs.
