Certificate of Deposit FAQs

Here at Honor Credit Union, you can open a certificate of deposit with as little as $50.

How do I know which term is best for me?

Each person has different goals for their money, and different ideas of how they would like their money to work for them. We would love for you to visit an Honor member center, or give us a call to go over all of our CD options and what might work best for you.

What is APY?

Annual Percentage Yield (APY) expresses an annual rate of return taking into account the effect of compounding.

Simply put, the higher the APY, the faster your balance grows. If you have two similar interest rates, the more frequently interest is compounded, the higher the APY will be. Those higher APYs can mean more savings for you.

What is an interest rate?

An interest rate is the rate at which a financial institution agrees to pay you back for holding your money.
