Yes! All banks offer many kinds of Checking and Savings accounts. Typically Savings accounts earn higher interest rates than Checking accounts. There are a couple savings accounts that earn the most interest: Money Markets and CD's (Certificate of Deposits). Money Markets are great because most banks allow you to write a few checks each month, however you usually have to maintain a pretty high balance (this varies at different banks.. ask about it at your bank). CD's are great because they earn an even higher interest rate however unfortunately you are not supposed to withdraw from them. and can be charged a fee for doing so. When you open up a CD you chose a certain amount of time to set all of the money aside in that account. The times are usually 6 months, 11 or 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years however different banks will offer different amounts of time. No Catch CD's are rarely offered but are great because they allow you to withdraw once without receiving a penalty fee. You open up a CD if you have some extra money you are able to set aside for a while that will earn high amounts of interest for just not touching it!
