A Certificate of Deposit, or a CD, is an investment instrument issued by commercial banks and other financial institutions that pay a fixed rate of interest on the maturity date, which may vary from a couple of weeks to many years.
If the holder of a certificate of deposit (CD) wants to cash in before the maturity date, a penalty applies.
