How Does It Work?

Placements

  • Each day, SimpliCD searches its nationwide network of issuers for the best rates on federally insured jumbo CDs.
  • You’ll be shown rates for CDs in terms ranging from six months to five years, and in amounts ranging from $99,000 to $20 million.
  • Placements are made by purchasing multiple CDs in $99,000 or $100,000 increments at separately insured issuers. A detailed tracking system assures that no more than $100,000 of your principal is placed in any single financial institution within the SimpliCD program.
  • SimpliCD purchases the CDs in a custodial capacity on your behalf, passing all federal insurance benefits through to you. You remain the legal owner of the CDs.

Settlement

  • SimpliCD tracks, monitors and collects all of your earnings. You'll receive a single consolidated monthly interest payment for all of your SimpliCD investments.

Reporting

  • Finally, in addition to your daily transaction statements, SimpliCD provides you with one monthly statement that details your entire SimpliCD portfolio.
