If you’re planning to set aside money for a specific period and want a secure way to grow your savings, a Santander® Certificate of Deposit (CD) could be the perfect solution. CDs provide a guaranteed rate of return over a fixed term, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a low-risk investment with predictable outcomes.
What are Certificates of Deposit?
A Certificate of Deposit, or CD, is an FDIC-insured savings product that offers a fixed interest rate for a fixed term. Unlike regular savings accounts, CDs require you to commit your funds for the entire term, typically resulting in higher interest rates than savings or money market accounts. The fixed nature of CDs ensures that your interest rate will not change, giving you peace of mind and reliable returns.
When you open a Santander CD, you’re making a solid financial choice to let your money grow safely. With a wide range of term options and competitive rates, you can align your investment with your financial goals, whether you’re saving for a large purchase or building your retirement nest egg.
How Do You Choose a Certificate of Deposit?
Choosing the right CD is simple. Start by selecting a term length that aligns with your savings goals. Santander CDs are available with terms ranging from short-term options to longer commitments, all offering guaranteed rates for the duration of the term. You can start with as little as $500, making this investment accessible to a wide range of savers.
With Santander CDs, you also have flexible options for how your interest is handled. You can choose to have the interest credited to your CD account, transferred to another Santander checking, savings, or money market account, or mailed to you as a check. This flexibility ensures that your CD investment works the way you want it to.
Keep in mind that early withdrawals will incur penalties, so it’s important to commit only what you can afford to set aside for the full term of the CD. This commitment is what allows CDs to offer higher rates than other savings options.
