What is a certificate of deposit?

Guaranteed rates

Never mind what the market does. Because you commit to a specific CD term, your rate is locked in no matter what.

Hands off, on purpose

Sit back and relax. Once you set up your certificate of deposit, you won’t have to worry about a thing.

Step up those earnings

A “CD ladder” is when you open several CDs with different maturity dates. It’s a smart way to build on earnings as your high-yield CDs mature.

Need your money early?

Just keep in mind that all Certificate of Deposit accounts have a penalty if you withdraw before your maturity date. The early withdrawal penalty depends on the length of the CD.

“Simple interest” is calculated by multiplying the daily interest rate by your principal by the number of days that elapse between payments. (One month equals 30 days for simple interest fee calculation.)

Beginning on the 8th day after your CD is opened and funded and for the next 22 calendar days, we will deduct each day’s simple interest on the issue amount withdrawn from the funding date to the date of withdrawal. Thereafter, the Early Withdrawal Penalty will be calculated as described in the chart below.

In some cases, the early withdrawal penalty may reduce the principal in the CD.
CD TERM

Early Withdrawal Penalties shown apply to new CDs.
less than 1 year
1 year to < 4 years
4 years to < 5 years
5 years to < 7 years
7 years to 10 years
PENALTY
3 months simple interest
6 months simple interest
9 months simple interest
18 months simple interest
24 months simple interest

Get going on those goals.

Why wait? Let a certificate of deposit help you start working toward yours.
