Nothing in life stays the same – except your certificate rate. Lock in a fixed rate for the entire term of your certificate. Know exactly what you are getting back, making it one of the safest retirement investments you can make. Certificates have a leg up on your regular savings account because you earn a higher interest rate. If you are looking for a safe way to let you money grow, a certificate is a great way to go.
