## Resource

Certificates of deposit have been around since the days of bank vacation clubs and paper passbooks. But they’ve caught up to the digital age, and then some, thanks to the vision and passion of a Seattle-based banker. John Blizzard, Founder of CD Valet, takes us through the ins and outs of an online destination that offers customers some 40,000 choices, likely making it the largest such marketplace in the world. He also shares his views on how forces ranging from AI-driven search to interest rate pressure could shape (and shake) the CD environment in the months ahead.
