PSB’s CD Rates in New Hampshire

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a savings account designed for individuals looking for a secure way to grow their money over a fixed period. 

Our NH bank CD rates typically offer a higher interest rate than a standard savings account in exchange for leaving funds untouched until the maturity date. CDs are ideal for those who want a low-risk investment option with predictable returns.

IRAs

An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a savings tool designed for individuals who want to plan and save for their retirement. It allows you to grow your retirement savings through tax advantages, either with tax-deferred growth or tax-free withdrawals, depending on the type of IRA. Piscataqua’s Savings Bank IRAs provide competitive rates and personalized support, making IRAs a reliable choice for building a secure and comfortable future.
