Whether saving for the short or long term, there’s a CD that’s just right for you. Choose terms ranging from 3 months to 5 years. Some of our CDs even have a “bump up” feature letting you increase the rate of your CD should interest rates increase during the period.

You can also borrow up to 90% of your CD balance at a rate 3% over the interest you are earning on your Certificate of Deposit.

A Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) was created as an incentive to help parents and students save for education expenses. The total contributions for the beneficiary of this account cannot be more than $2,000 in any year, no matter how many accounts have been established.

A beneficiary is someone who is under age 18 or is a special needs beneficiary.

Contributions to a Coverdell ESA are not deductible, but amounts deposited in the account grow tax free until distributed. The beneficiary will not owe tax on the distributions if they are less than a beneficiary’s qualified education expenses at an eligible institution. This benefit applies to qualified higher education expenses as well as to qualified elementary and secondary education expenses.

There is no tax on distribution if used for enrollment at an eligible educational institution. 
If the distribution exceeds qualified education expenses, a portion will be taxable to the beneficiary and will usually be subject to an additional 10% tax. 

There are contribution limits for taxpayers based on the contributor’s Modified Adjusted Gross Income.
