How does a CD work and how does it work?
A traditional CD is essentially a time-bound deposit. In exchange for earning interest, you enter into an agreement that lets the bank use your money for a fixed time. The bank rewards you by paying you a higher interest rate than it does for a regular savings account or money market account.
