Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

Let your excess cash earn more.

Save for the long run, risk-free.

A First Bank CD is also a safe, FDIC-insured investment, typically offering guaranteed fixed interest rates. If you do not need immediate access to your funds, a CD typically offers higher rates than savings and money market accounts—the longer the term, the higher the interest.1

Perfect for you if:
  • You like low-risk investments.
  • You want to earn great rates on your investments.
  • You do not need immediate access to your savings.
  1. CDs are subject to penalty for early withdrawals prior to maturity date. Penalty will reduce earnings.
