We’re Here to Answer Your Certificate Account, Money Market Account and IRA Questions
  • How does a certificate account work?
    A certificate account is a savings product that locks in your funds for a fixed term where they grow at a fixed dividend rate. Certificate accounts usually require a specific amount of money as a minimum opening deposit that stays in the certificate account for a specified amount of time, also known as a “term.” Terms can be as short as three months and as long as five years and early-withdrawal penalties apply.8 Throughout the term of your account, you earn a specified amount of dividends. View more details on dividends and terms available.
