What’s a CD? For some, CD stands for compact disc, which was used to record and play music once upon a time, in an age before smart phones and iPods. But that’s not the type of CD we’re talking about here. In the financial world, "CD" stands for "certificate of deposit." What is a certificate of deposit and how does it work? What’s a CD? For some, CD stands for compact disc, which was used to record and play music once upon a time, in an age before smart phones and iPods. But that’s not the type of CD we’re talking about here. In the financial world, "CD" stands for "certificate of deposit." What’s a CD? For some, CD stands for compact disc, which was used to record and play music once upon a time, in an age before smart phones and iPods. But that’s not the type of CD we’re talking about here. In the financial world, "CD" stands for "certificate of deposit." If you’re unfamiliar with certificates of deposit, it’s an investment tool that allows you to turn the tables on the lender. Instead of paying interest on a loan, the bank pays you interest on a deposit. What is a certificate of deposit? As the name suggests, a certificate of deposit is a deposit. You deposit a specific dollar amount with a lender, but you agree not to withdraw that deposit for a certain length of time. It could be three months, a year, or even as long as 10 years. For as long as you agree to leave the deposit with the lender, you will earn interest on that deposit. Once your certificate of deposit has reached what’s called its “maturity date,” you can withdraw that money, penalty-free. Like a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, you’ll also get to pocket the interest. How does a CD work? The most important parts of a certificate of deposit are the interest rate and the length of the deposit. Generally, the longer you are willing to leave your deposit with a lender, the better the interest rate they’re going to offer you. CDs are an appealing alternative to a traditional savings account because the interest rates are often higher and the rates are fixed. It’s considered a safe investment tool because you’re not at the mercy of the market. CDs are also federally insured, so your deposit is protected. You also have the freedom to shop around and find the lender that offers the best CD interest rates. Is a CD right for you? Do you have a chunk of cash tucked away that you don’t need right now? Instead of collecting dust, that money can collect interest in a CD. It can grow into a bigger chunk of cash that you can then use toward a home, a car, or even a boat if you’re looking to set sail. The risk is obviously that, in the event that you find yourself in a bind, you can’t withdraw the funds without paying a penalty. So it’s best not to think of this deposit as an emergency fund. On the flip side, it can remove the temptation to spend that money. You can consider the CD as safekeeping for savings you might be tempted to spend under the right circumstances.

Did you know that it only takes a deposit of $5 to start a savings account at Vibrant? Go ahead and pluck that five dollar bill out of your wallet, where it’s more likely to end up spent than saved. By putting it in a savings account for safe keeping, you’re planting a seed. How quickly that seed sprouts and grows into a beautiful flower depends on where you’ve planted it.

Go ahead and pluck that five dollar bill out of your wallet, where it’s more likely to end up spent than saved. By putting it in a savings account for safe keeping, you’re planting a seed. How quickly that seed sprouts and grows into a beautiful flower depends on where you’ve planted it. To help you find the best place to grow your savings, here are four tips for choosing a savings account that is going to turn your five dollar bill into so much more. Aim high for your interest rate Opening a savings account is about growing your money, and how quickly that money grows will depend on the interest rate . The higher the interest rate, the more you’ll earn from your deposit. Most lenders will offer a basic savings account with interest rates as low as .01%, but keep an eye out for high-interest savings accounts that could help you earn more at a faster rate. Pay attention to minimum balance requirements Behind every savings account are a set of terms and conditions. You might be tempted to skim them, but do yourself a favor and give them a read. Different lenders will have different minimum deposit requirements, ranging from $1 to $10,000. You might also be expected to maintain a minimum balance to earn interest. There could even be fees for dropping below the minimum required balance. Always take the time to read the terms and conditions. Shop local for the best rates No two savings accounts are the same. Different financial institutions are going to offer different types of savings accounts with different interest rates, fees, and minimum balances. It’s up to you to look around and find the best savings account for you, and the best place to start is your local credit union or community bank. Because they’re nonprofit and member-owned , credit unions generally offer higher interest rates than banks, so be sure to give them a look. Ask about mobile banking Having a brick-and-mortar location close by is convenient, but in this day and age, most people expect to be able to handle the bulk of their financial transactions through their phone. You should be able to manage your savings account from anywhere, so be sure to ask about online and mobile banking services when kicking the tires on different financial institutions.

Whether you're looking for a faster payday, easier money management, or a more secure way to get paid, direct deposit has benefits worth exploring. 10 Reasons to Set Up Direct Deposit Whether you're looking for a faster payday, easier money management, or a more secure way to get paid, direct deposit has benefits worth exploring. Stop Waiting on Payday Instead of receiving a paper check and taking extra steps to access your money, direct deposit automatically deposits your paycheck into your account, helping you get access to your funds faster and more conveniently. Here are 10 reasons more people are making the switch. 1. You Could Get Paid Up to 2 Days Early Eligible direct deposits may arrive in your Vibrant account up to 2 days before your scheduled payday.* That's quicker access to your money when you need it most without changing your payroll schedule. 2. Payday Happens Automatically No waiting for a paper check. No worrying about whether your paycheck is available. Your money is deposited directly into your account automatically, helping make payday one less thing to think about. 3. No Trips to the Branch With direct deposit, your paycheck goes straight into your account. That means no stopping at a branch, ATM, or mobile deposit screen before your money becomes available. Your paycheck is already where you need it. 4. It's More Secure Than a Paper Check Paper checks can be lost, damaged, delayed, or misplaced. Direct deposit reduces those risks by securely transferring funds directly into your account. 5. Budgeting Becomes Easier When your paycheck is deposited automatically, you know when your money is arriving and where it's going. That consistency can make it easier to: Pay bills on time Avoid late fees Track spending Stick to your budget 6. Put Your Money to Work Sooner When your paycheck is deposited directly into your Vibrant account, your money can immediately start working for you. Our Premier Checking account earns up award-winning rates helping you get more from every payday. 7. Building Savings Gets Easier Many employers allow you to split your paycheck between multiple accounts. That means part of your paycheck can go directly into savings, helping you build emergency funds and savings goals automatically. Sometimes the easiest way to save is to automate it. 8. Access Your Money Nearly Anywhere Some members worry that moving their paycheck means losing convenient access to their cash. Not with Vibrant.
