What’s the Difference Between a Bank CD and a Share Certificate?
A Share Certificate, not to be confused with a bank CD, is a savings account where an individual deposits a specific amount of money with a credit union for a predetermined period. This period can range from a few months to several years. Like a bank CD, in exchange for locking in the funds for that set term, you receive a fixed interest rate. However, the interest rate is generally higher than that of a standard bank CD savings account. Read more about the differences between a bank CD and a Share Certificate.
