Emergency money is money you may need suddenly and without notice, so the key question is not 'which certificate' but 'can this money be locked at all?'. A certificate has a term: the money stays tied up until maturity, many certificates cannot be redeemed in the first six months, and if broken later the bank usually lowers the return for the period already held and claws back what was overpaid, so you may get back less than you put in. A savings account is the opposite: you can withdraw at any time, but its return may be lower, some accounts pay nothing below a certain balance, and the balance basis (daily or lowest monthly balance) matters with every withdrawal. The choice depends on how much you need the money within reach; neither type wins in general. Before deciding, check the certificate's key-facts statement for when breaking is allowed and its penalty table, and the account's key-facts statement for the minimum balance that earns a return, the balance basis and the fees.
