How to choose the best CDs

We have made a list with all the variables that you must know to open the best CD:

  • Terms: All deposits have a term. You must know that term before opening a CD to avoid penalties.
  • Fees: There are CDs that charge commissions. You have to open CDsthat do not charge any commission. There are many banks that offer free CDs.
  • Penalties: If you withdraw the money before the agreed term you will have a penalty. You should also know that there are banks that do not have penalties but the yield is lower.
  • APY: The interest rate is undoubtedly the most important variable. The more yield the deposit has, the more benefits you will have.
