Jennifer Calonia, Go Banking Rates financial expert, walks depositors through the five main benefits that a certificate of deposit brings, including minimizing impulsive spending.
“It may seem like locking savings into a deposit account is a bad idea,” says Ms. Calonia, “However, with so many Americans still struggling to get a starter reserve savings fund up and going, keeping money in a hands-off account like a CD poses a huge benefit to depositors who lack self-control.”
In addition to ensuring depositors commit funds toward their savings goal, Ms. Calonia explains how laddering CDs and reducing risk are key advantages of a certificate of deposit.
