# Open an Account

## Account Opening Overview

From the CD management section, customers can open new deposit accounts without leaving online banking. Four account types are available:

* **Certificate of Deposit (CD)** — fixed-term savings with a guaranteed rate and APY
* **Checking** — everyday transaction accounts with no or minimal fees
* **Savings** — basic interest-bearing savings accounts
* **Money Market** — higher-minimum accounts with competitive rates

Select the account type you want to open from the options page. Each flow follows the same pattern: choose a product, fund it from an existing account, authorize the transfer, and receive a confirmation.
