It is a Certificate of Deposit. If you promise a bank they can use a lot of your money for a long time, they give you higher interest than passbook savings. They typically start out at $1,000 for 6 months and go up - $5,000, $10,000 and up; 12 months, 18 months, up to five years.

You pay a penalty if you take the money out early.
Any bank, savings & loan or credit union will have them; walk in and ask.

The most painless way to save is to have the bank transfer 10% of your paycheck (5%, 20% . . .) to your savings account each payday, automatically. If you never see it, the chance of spending it is less. When you get enough in your passbook savings to buy a CD, buy one. Leave some cash in the passbook just in case.

A CD is a Certificate of Deposit. You can get one at most banks, but if you are planning to do long term investing, there are much better options than a CD, such as possibly a Roth IRA. Talk to a financial adviser or research on-line for different options.

a CD is certificate of deposit. Basically it is a way to put money away and earn a good amount of interest. you can get one by talking to some one at your bank

It's a certificate of deposit. You can open one at your bank, but you have to find out how much the initial deposit is (usually 1,000) and it earns a higher interest rate than a savings account. You can get them in 8 month, 12 month and 15 month terms.

A CD is a compact disc. There are audio CD's, which have music on them, there is the Data CD's, which have programmed information on then, like computer software, and there are video discs which movies are on.
