Your Credit and CD Rates

A Certificate of Deposit, or CD is similar to a savings account in that it earns interest, but different in that you can set a length of time (anywhere from 3 months to 5 years) that you will not touch your savings. The reason you may choose this option is that banks typically offer higher interest rates because they know you are not going to withdraw the money. Banks can then loan your money out, and pay you a higher Bank Rate to allow you to earn even more money.

Most investing options do not require a strong credit score to become an investor. However, there are a few who do, particularly high interest rate savings accounts. Even if they do not require a credit check, it is a good idea to always remain on top of your credit.

Fremont CD Rates and Interest Income Investments

During his day MC Hammer built a luxury mansion in Fremont, California. The property had a massive a car garage, swimming pools, a bowling alley, baseball diamond and a stop sign engraved with “Hammertime.”

At one time Forbes Magazine listed him as the 19th-highest-paid entertainer in the world with earnings of more than $33 million. However, Hammer lived well beyond his means and did not take a portion of his income and invest it into great money market accounts with high rates, safe but interest generating CDs and other investment tools with high rates.

Best CD Rates

Ultimately, Hammer had to sell his house and cut back on the spending as filed for bankruptcy in April 1996. At that time he had $8 million in assets but $10 million in debt. If only Fremont Banking Rates was around at the time to help him find high investment rates, this situation may have been avoided.

You can earn up to 1% or more in a CD versus a savings account with a $5000 CD over 10 years; that can be over $500-$1000 more in interest payments with the higher CD rate.

Many local Fremont credit unions offer competitive CD rates, money market accounts and IRAs, as do the larger national banks. If you want to get the highest interest rates, be sure to thoroughly research banks with the best offers before you make your decision.
