Business Savings &
Certificate of Deposit Accounts

Business savings and Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts are low-risk options for businesses to store cash, earn interest, and build a financial cushion. They differ primarily in how your money is accessed and the interest rates they offer. At Gateway Bank, we understand the unique financial needs of your business. Our savings and certificate of deposit accounts offer secure, interest-earning solutions designed to help your capital work harder—so you can focus on growing your enterprise.

Statement of
Business Savings

A business savings account functions similarly to a personal savings account, allowing you to save money while earning interest.

Liquidity

Easier access to your funds, making them suitable for holding emergency funds or excess operating cash.

Interest earnings

Funds in a business savings earn interest.

Flexibility

There is no fixed term for your deposit, so you can add or withdraw money as needed.

Separation of Funds

Keeps business finances separate from personal accounts, which simplifies accounting and tax preparation.

Certificate of Deposit (CD)

A business CD is a time deposit account where you agree to keep your money untouched for a fixed term in exchange for a higher, fixed interest rate.

Guaranteed returns:

The interest rate is fixed for the entire term, guaranteeing a predictable return on your investment.

Higher interest rates:

Business CDs generally offer higher interest rates than savings accounts, especially for longer terms.

Security:

Like other bank accounts, business CDs are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor.
