Jumbo certificate

What's the definition?
A certificate of deposit of $100,000 or more, exempt from regulatory interest rate ceilings and usually paying a market rate of interest. Jumbo CDs resulted when the Federal Reserve in 1973 amended Regulation Q to exempt time deposits of $100,000 or more from regulatory interest rate limits.
