Not all savings tools work the same way, and knowing the difference can help your money work harder for you! A Certificate of Deposit (CD) locks in your rate for a set period of time, making it a good fit if you have savings you won't need right away. An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is built specifically for retirement savings and comes with its own tax advantages.
Neither one is one size fits all. The right choice depends on your goals and your timeline, so it's worth a conversation to figure out what fits you best.
