- “My money won’t be fully protected.” | Accounts are insured up to $250,000, and you can open an unlimited number of accounts.
- “I won’t be able to access my money for a long time.” | Terms are flexible, ranging from six months to five years, so you can choose what fits your goals.
- “I could miss out on higher rates.” | Flexible terms and unlimited accounts allow you to stagger the maturity dates of certificates, aka certificate laddering.
