The Best High-Yield Savings Accounts

The Best CD Rates

Want to save more money and earn interest? A high-yield savings account can offer up to nine times more interest than a typical account. A certificate of deposit, or CD, is also a good option with high interest rates. CDs lock in your money for a set period at a fixed rate, but they're less flexible — early withdrawals usually come with penalties.

We'll break down the difference between high-yield savings accounts and CDs, help you decide which is better for you, and explain how to earn more money on your cash.
