CD can also stand for "Certificate of Deposit" in a banking context.
A Certificate of Deposit is a type of time deposit account offered by banks and credit unions, where you deposit a certain amount of money for a set period of time, typically ranging from a few months to several years, and in return, you earn a fixed rate of interest on your deposit. The interest rate on a CD is usually higher than that of a savings account, and the longer the term of the CD, the higher the interest rate typically is.
CDs are considered to be low-risk investments because the interest rate is fixed and the principal amount is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per depositor per bank. However, withdrawing the funds before the maturity date of the CD may result in a penalty.
Certificates of Deposit can be a good investment option for people who want a low-risk investment with a guaranteed return, as long as they don't need the money for the duration of the CD term.
