What is a Certificate of Deposit account?

For customers looking for a safe, long-term investment option, a CD is perfect for saving funds for future purchases. When you bank with AAA, you can choose from a variety of CD terms and rates – generally the longer the term, the higher the rate.

  • A CD is a safe investment.* Rest assured knowing your money is safe – funds are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per depositor. 
  • With a CD, you’ll enjoy greater earnings than with a conventional checking or savings account. Earn higher interest, allowing you to accumulate funds for a future home or car purchase, college tuition costs and much more.


* See FDIC Website for National Average. If rate not listed national average is not available.
