How it works
No payment today. We first check that your CD, IRA cash, or fixed-annuity decision is something a written answer can actually settle.
Renew, move, wait, close a CD early, keep IRA cash liquid, or use a fixed annuity. One short form, no account login.
Within 24 hours we tell you whether a Savings Second Opinion can help. If it can’t, we say so and point you at what would.
We send a signed letter with the math, the fine print, and the answer in plain English — free, in one business day.

Most of our clients aren’t shopping for a product. They’re weighing one decision, and they want it answered in writing — once — by someone who has to sign their name to it.
FAQ
For people close to moving money, but not ready to trust a renewal notice, a top-rate list, or a sales pitch.
Use it when you’re choosing what to do with fixed-rate savings: renew a CD, close a CD early, keep IRA cash liquid, lock a rate, compare two offers, or weigh a CD against a fixed annuity.
Not every decision needs a paid review. Some need tax or legal advice. Some are too open-ended. We tell you that first — before you spend a dollar.
The trade-off: extra interest versus liquidity, paying a CD penalty versus waiting, a higher rate versus a less familiar company, or whether the bank renewal is good enough.
No. It’s decision support. We show the facts, the math, the real paths and the trade-offs so you can decide. If you later ask GetSure to help place money, we disclose compensation before money moves.
The Savings Second Opinion is a written answer on one specific decision. It names the current option, compares real paths, shows dollar differences when useful, and explains the trade-offs in plain English.
No. Rate matters, but it’s not the whole choice. We also look at term, liquidity, CD penalty math, account type, company strength, and whether the extra rate is worth the trade-off.
Bank CDs have FDIC insurance. Fixed annuities have state guaranty-association protection up to the applicable state cap from one insurer. If the cap matters for sizing, we state the exact dollar amount in plain English.
Yes. We also issue the Savings Second Opinion on existing policies — whole life, universal life, annuities you already own. Same format, same one-business-day turnaround.
Tell us what is still unclear and we will follow up. The Savings Second Opinion is free, so there is no cost either way — and if a written answer cannot get you unstuck, we will say so plainly and point you at what would.
