Money that is invested in an interest bearing account such as a savings account or certificate of deposit earns interest. The rate at which interest is paid varies, but it will be a small percentage of the balance in the account. Rates may be either variable or fixed.
Certificates of deposits: A certificate of deposit is an investment that may provide higher returns than a regular savings account but requires you to lock your money up for a set amount of time, usually between three months and five years (youâll pay a penalty if you take the money out earlier).
