“The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself.” – Warren Buffett
If your Certificate of Deposit (CD) is approaching maturity, you might be wondering:
What do I do next? And how can I make the most of it?

Here’s the good news: you’re in a great position. Your savings have done their job—earning interest safely and steadily. Now, as the term ends, you have the opportunity to decide how your money can best support your goals.
But here’s where things get tricky: many CD holders don’t realize that maturity comes with a deadline—often just a short grace period to make a decision. Without action, your CD might automatically renew into another term… possibly with a different rate or timeline than you’d prefer.
At Liberty Savings Bank, our team is here to guide you through this moment so your savings continue to work for you—not the other way around.
Let’s walk through what happens when a CD matures, the options available to you, and how we can help you make the most of your hard-earned money.
When your CD reaches its maturity date, it means the original term has ended. You’ve fulfilled your side of the agreement by keeping your funds deposited for the full term. Now the bank returns your original deposit—plus any interest you earned.
At this point, you’re in control. And we are here to help you make a thoughtful, informed choice about what happens next.
Here are the key decisions you can make once your CD matures—and how Liberty can support each step.
Many of our customers choose to renew their CD to keep earning steady returns. If rates have risen since your last term, you may qualify for an even better rate this time around.
We offer a variety of CD terms—from short-term flexibility to longer-term growth options. And if you're unsure what term is right for you, our local bankers are happy to help you match your investment timeline with your financial goals.
Maybe your goals have changed. Maybe you're planning for a big expense, saving for retirement, or looking for a bit more flexibility.
This is a great time to sit down with your Liberty banker and explore other safe, smart options that still work within your risk comfort zone. These might include:
We’re here to help you shape a plan—not sell you a product.
If you’d like a bit more access to your funds, you can move your matured CD balance into one of our high-yield savings or money market accounts. This lets you earn interest while keeping your money liquid.
These accounts are a great fit if you’re:
Your banker can help you compare options and ensure you’re getting the right blend of safety and flexibility.
At Liberty, we’re committed to helping you grow your savings at every life stage.
Maturity is a perfect time to take stock. Is your money aligned with your priorities? Are you planning for retirement? Saving for education? Thinking about legacy planning?
We’d love to talk with you about what’s next and introduce you to options that may suit your financial goals—including IRAs, trust accounts, or longer-term CD options.
Let’s make sure your money is working as hard as you are.
Most CDs come with a short grace period—usually 7 to 10 calendar days after maturity. This is your opportunity to:
If no action is taken during the grace period, the CD may automatically renew for the same term at the current rate. And while we’re always here to help if that happens, we’d rather connect before the rollover.
Even seasoned savers sometimes run into surprises. Here are a few things to watch for:
Your options become limited after the grace period ends. We’ll help you stay ahead of the deadline.
If you automatically roll into a CD without reviewing your choices, you might miss a better Liberty product that better fits your needs.
Your financial goals might’ve changed since your last CD. Let’s make sure your savings strategy still matches your life stage.
Your money matters, and so does your peace of mind. At Liberty Savings Bank, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. We believe in local conversations with people who know your name—and your goals.
When your CD matures, that’s not the end of the journey. It’s a fresh opportunity to grow, plan, and save with confidence. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Stop by your nearest branch, give us a call, or schedule a quick consultation. Let’s take the guesswork out of what comes next—together.
