Online banks such as Discover offer many different types of accounts, including Checking and Certificates of Deposit (CDs). These accounts often offer higher rates than brick-and-mortar banks. That’s because they have low overhead expenses and can pass their savings along to customers in the form of better rates. But while other banks may offer these accounts, Discover could have just the right mix for you, with the returns and liquidity you demand for each unique financial goal.
