Business Fixed-Rate Certificate
The savings account with a solid work ethic.
Business Fixed-Rate Certificate 101
A certificate is an earnings-driven savings account, similar to a CD, or Certificate of Deposit in the traditional banking world. Open your Business Fixed-Rate Certificate with a deposit of $1,000 or more and choose between a 12, 18, or 36-month term.

With competitive rates and quarterly dividends, you’ll reach your savings goals just by letting this certificate do what it does best (so you have more time to do the same).
