Home State Bank's Certificates of Deposit are available to both commercial and private investors who want competitive yields with minimum risk. For those individuals on a fixed income, interest payments from Certificates of Deposit can increase their annual earnings. Payments of interest, which may depend on the amount and/or term of the CD, can be paid as often as monthly, in the form of a check, a transfer to another deposit account, or compounded to the CD's principal (which allows interest to be earned on the interest). Interest on a CD is fixed until its maturity. Interest disbursements from CD's can be customized to fit specific needs. 

  • $1,000 Minimum Initial Deposit
  • No Statements unless Linked to a Deposit Statement Account
  • Interest Bearing Account

We offer a wide variety of IRA certificates of deposit with maturities to suit your individual needs, saving for your "golden years" is easy and affordable.

IRA's are insured separately from other bank deposits up to $250,000 through the FDIC and a substantial interest penalty applies to an early withdrawal.
