What is the difference between a time deposit and a certificate of deposit?
A time deposit (also known as a term deposit, particularly in Canada, Australia and New Zealand; a bond in the United Kingdom) is a money deposit at a banking institution that cannot be withdrawn for a certain “term” or period of time. When the term is over it can be withdrawn or it can be held for another term. Generally speaking, the longer the term the better the yield on the money. A certificate of deposit is a time-deposit product.
