Get low-risk, guaranteed rates with a gsb certificate of deposit
Certificates of Deposit (CDs) allow you to earn a fixed interest rate over a specific period of time in exchange for your deposit. We offer a wide range of term options because we know that everyone has different financial goals. Explore the benefits of opening a CD at GSB below!
Certificate of Deposit Perks
Guaranteed, competitive interest rates
CDs generally offer higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts, and when you lock in a fixed interest rate for a specified period with a CD you’re ensuring that you know exactly how much interest you will earn on your investment, regardless of interest rate changes in the market.
Diversification and term options
Including Certificates of Deposit in your investment portfolio can help diversify your assets and reduce overall risk. Since GSB offers a range of term options, you can choose the duration that best aligns with your financial goals and objectives.
Convenience and Financial Security
CDs are easy to open, require minimal paperwork and coordination, and provide a simple way to earn a great return on your funds. Not to mention that you also get the assurance of guaranteed returns, and the protection of up-to-maximum FDIC deposit insurance.
