What are CDs?

CDs or certificates of deposit are a financial savings instrument. Thanks to CDs we can get interest with the money we have saved. The main function of the CDs is to obtain a remuneration so that our savings grow every year.

How do they work?

The operation of certificates of deposits is very simple. Banks offer a certain interest rate and a given time. You only have to make a deposit in the CDs and the bank will remunerate you the agreed interest rate during the time specified in the deposit contract.

You should also know that if you withdraw the money early you will have a penalty. You should try to keep the money in the bank for the agreed time.
