CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT FAQs
With a savings account, you can withdraw your money as you need it .
With a certificate account, you leave your original deposit in the account for the full length of the term you choose, or pay a penalty. Once the term is over, you can automatically renew the certificate, or you can withdraw all the funds. As you earn dividends each month, you can withdraw just the earnings after they are credited to your account without any penalty.
A certificate-secured loan is a loan that is secured by the money in your certificate account. If you are unable to make your loan payments, the lender may take the money from your certificate account to cover the amount you still owe on your loan.
When you use your Certificate Account as security for a loan, you continue to earn dividends. And because secured loans usually offer better rates than unsecured loans, you will typically get a better loan rate as well.
The main disadvantage of withdrawing or transferring the dividends from your Certificate Account before the term is over is that no compounding will occur. You will continue to earn dividends on your original deposit for the rest of the term, but you will not earn any additional dividends on the earnings that you have withdrawn or transferred.
