The Bank Deposit Certificate (CDB) is a very popular investment security among investors with more conservative profiles, due to its considered low risk with a practically guaranteed return guarantee. The CDB mainly represents an opportunity for financial institutions to boost their resources and sustain their credit activities. Uber explained that drivers in the “Diamond” category will have access to CDBs with a daily income of 102% of the CDI, and the others, with a daily income of 100% of the CDI.

Investing in Uber's CDB account is an interesting strategy, as it has daily liquidity that applies to the CDI percentage, FGC Insurance that covers investments of up to R$250,000 and good integration with the racing platform used by several drivers around Brazil.
