Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are ideal investments if you do not need ready access to your cash. CDs typically offer higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts; making them good options to help achieve long-term savings goals. Additionally, once in a CD, you are guaranteed your interest rate will not change for the term of the CD. Great interest rates and built-in savings discipline can make CDs a smart choice for long-term savings!

Lake Area Bank offers competitive rates and a variety of terms to choose from ranging from three months to five years. Rates vary depending on the duration and amount of the Certificate of Deposit. The minimum investment to open a Certificate of Deposit is $2,500. There is a penalty if you withdraw your money before the maturity date of your Certificate. Check with a banker for more information, or to discuss which CD may be the best fit for you.
