Explanation:

Banks and other financial institution offer certificates of deposit (CD) saving account to customers who intend to limit the number of withdraws. This type of savings account pays a higher interest rate than the regular savings account. A customer wishing to open this account agrees with the bank on the duration that they want to save the money.  Withdrawals can only be made after the agreed period lapses. Should the customer demand for their money before the end of the agreed period,  they may get penalized by the banks.
