Certificates of Deposit

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are an investment that guarantees that your savings will keep on growing.

Your investment is safe because Mercer County State Bank CDs are backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to at least $250,000 for each depositor. Whether you want a low-risk way to diversify your portfolio, save for retirement or have a time-specific savings need, CDs are a great choice to accomplish your financial goals.  You determine the amount of money you want to put in your CD and the term of the CD. In general, you earn a higher interest rate when you choose a CD with a longer term.
