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 deposit (CDs) are among the safest investments out there. Theyâre available from banks and credit unions, and they tend to pay more than savings accounts and money market accounts. The main drawback to CDs is that you have to lock your money up in order to earn the higher interest rate.
