A comparatively small part of the money you put into the bank is kept in currency - an amount which in normal times is wholly sufficient to cover the cash needs of the average citizen....

Why do banks give interest on deposit?

Banks make money by lending money to people and charging people for borrowing. The amount banks charge is called interest. Banks borrow money from other people and pay them interest on the amount borrowed. Banks charge more interest on the money they lend than they pay one the money they borrow. That is how they make money. When people deposit money with a bank, the bank is literally borrowing money from some people so they can lend it to other people. That is why banks pay interest.

Advantages Of CDS As An Investment Instrument

  • CDs typically offer a higher rate of interest than Treasury bills and savings account due to the higher risk associated with them.
  • As the rate of interest is fixed, your return on investment is ensured despite the rate fluctuations in the market.
  • CDs are insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and hence are a good investment option for single income households and retired folks. CDs are a risk-free investment.
  • The return on CDs is assured and helps in financial planning.
  • It's very easy to set up a CD. One needs to just walk to their local bank and request for purchase of CD. Money from the existing savings account will be ear-marked against the CD that has been purchased. The only thing to be made sure that the bank is FDIC ensured.
  • CDs can be purchased and sold through a brokerage firm. This way you can encash the CD before the maturity term without paying the penalty.

Disadvantages Of CD As A Money Market Instrument

  • Money is tied down for long durations of time. Though the investor can withdraw money, he has to generally incur penalty in terms of some amount of loss of interest on the deposit amount. You can get a waiver on the penalty in case of special circumstances like disability, death or retirement.
  • As the rate of interest is fixed, it is difficult to change or to take advantage of the market situation when the market rates are favorable. You will not be able to get an interest rate that favors inflation.
  • Though the return rate is higher on CDs than savings account, it is much lower than other money market instruments where you can make possible investments.
  • According to the federal regulations, FDIC will insure CDs up to the maximum amount of $100,000 in a single financial institution. So if you want to invest more than &100,000 you will have to invest in separate CDs in different banks!
