Develop a cash strategy to meet your unique needs
Use each type of product to make the most out of your short and long-term cash requirements as interest rates change over time. Savings accounts are subject to rate increases and decreases. With CDs, on the other hand, the interest rate is fixed for its specific term. Developing a cash strategy that takes into account both fixed rates (for periods of interest rate uncertainty or to lock into attractive rates) and variable rates (high-yield savings for short term cash needs or if rates are expected to increase) may help you better achieve your long term goals.
