Certificate of Deposit

What is a Certificate of Deposit?

A certificate of deposit, or CD, is a savings tool that has a fixed interest rate and fixed date maturity. Because CD funds can’t be accessed before their maturity date (without a penalty), banks like Field & Main are able to offer higher interest rates than typical savings accounts, making them secure and popular alternatives to other investment products.

What are the benefits of a Certificate of Deposit?

  • Save More: Compounding interest and competitive interest rates give your savings a boost
  • Customizable Options: Select a term and interest rate that best meets your financial needs.
  • Peace of Mind: Fixed terms and interest rates secure your investment.

Savings Accounts FAQs

No matter what your goals are, saving should be simple. Below are some answers to the most common questions we receive about savings accounts.

 

Do savings accounts cost money, or, are there fees?

To avoid any fees, you simply need to keep a balance of at least $100 in your account and be sure to not make withdrawals more than six times per month. A maintenance fee of $1.00 will be imposed every month if the balance on the account falls below the $100.00 minimum. Savings accounts must have fewer than 6 withdrawals or transfers a month. An excess withdrawal fee of $2.00 will be charged for each withdrawal in excess of 6 per month.

Do savings accounts offer check writing capabilities?

Our Money Market accounts offer check writing capabilities, but our Simple Savings and Holiday Helper do not.

 

Do you offer a savings account for kids, or a young savers account?

While we don’t have a specific young savers account, our Simple Savings Account is a great option for kids who are savvy savers! You can open an account with just $25. After the first month, a $100 minimum balance is required. If the balance falls below $100, a $1.00 maintenance fee will be charged each month.

How many withdrawals are allowed per month?

You are allowed 6 withdrawals per month from your savings account. After 6 withdrawals, there is a $2 fee per withdrawal. The 6-withdrawal limit would include any automatic payments that are set up, debit card transactions, and automatic funds transfers or sweeps into another account.

 

Will the interest rate change on my savings account? What is the rate?

Our savings account interest rates are subject to change at any time. For the most up-to-date rates, please contact one of our Relationship Bankers directly.

How is interest paid?

Interest will be compounded monthly and credited to your account monthly.

Can I get a debit card with a savings account?

You can link a debit card to your Simple Savings or Money Market accounts, which allows you to withdraw funds from an ATM. Keep in mind that each time you use your debit card, it counts towards the six-withdrawal limit for both savings and Money Market accounts.

Can I set this account up to cover my checking account in case of an overdraft?

Yes, there is a simple agreement we will need you to sign to get this set up. Keep in mind that each time you use your debit card, it counts towards the six-withdrawal limit for both savings and Money Market accounts.
