And there's no limit to the number of savings certificates you can have. Spread out your money so it matures at different times for greater flexibility.

What is a savings certificate?
It's a low-risk, higher-reward savings account that grows your money at higher interest rates compared to other account options. You'll also see these referred to as a certificate of deposit, or CD.
How does a savings certificates work?
You choose how long you want to keep your money deposited, known as the term length, and your money earns dividends at a fixed rate for that term. Typically, longer terms and larger deposits grow at our highest rates. With Clearview, you can choose terms anywhere between 3 months and 5 years. It's best if you don't need access to the money you deposit. A penalty may apply if you end up withdrawing your money before the term ends. Our savings certificate calculator can help you estimate your earnings.
How can savings certificates help me?
They give your savings an extra boost over a specific period of time. Short-term certificates help you save for vacations, holiday celebrations, and anything else you can think of. Choosing long-term certificates lets you build up for larger expenses such as down payments on a home or vehicle, education expenses, or retirement. Ready to get started?
