Forty percent of U.S. adults are more likely to consider long-term savings investments such as CDs today than a year ago, new data shows...
It’s clear that there is a strong appetite right now for low-risk, high-rate investments, so there couldn’t be a better time to have CD Valet sharing rates from local banks and credit unions in all 50 states, as well as the national and internet banks. The survey reveals that public knowledge about CD investments is lacking, likely since low interest rates for the past 15 years have diminished CDs’ popularity until now. We’re eager to educate more people on the benefits of CDs and help them find rates with better returns through CD Valet, as well as create a new channel for community banks and credit unions to raise more deposits.
