Certificate of Deposit
CLICK HERE TO VIEW RATES
A Certificate of Deposit provides a means for saving money at a higher rate of interest. Interest is accrued daily. Interest is added back to the certificate, or deposited to the customer’s savings or checking account, monthly. Checks can be issued quarterly. Interest rates can change weekly, but the interest rate that is in effect at the time of purchase or automatic renewal remains the same for the term of the certificate. Any certificate of deposit can be opened for as little as $500.00.
Certificates are automatically renewed at the time of maturity and at the rate in effect on that day. The customer receives a 10-day pre-notice advising them of the maturity of their certificate. On the maturity date they also receive a notice telling them what rate of interest the certificate will renew at. If the customer wishes to cash in or change their certificate, they have 10 days from the maturity date to do so.
A customer may cash their certificate before maturity, but federal regulations require a substantial penalty for early withdrawal. You do not have to withdraw the total amount of the certificate; you may take any part of it and the penalty will be figured on that part:
• For an account with an original maturity of 1 year or less, the penalty will be three month’s interest on the amount withdrawn.
• For an account with an original maturity of 13 months - 24 months, the penalty will be six month’s interest on the amount withdrawn.
• For an account with an original maturity of 25 months - 36 months, the penalty will be twelve months interest on the amount withdrawn.
• For an account with an original maturity over thirty six months, the penalty will be eighteen month’s interest on the amount withdrawn.
We are permitted to allow an early withdrawal and waive the above penalty if:
• An account holder dies or is declared incompetent.
• This is an IRA and you are at least 59 ½ years of age or disabled
• Earning a high rate of interest on your funds, being insured by the FDIC, and providing security and interest income for your retirement years are some of the benefits of investing in certificates.
• Any further information or questions may be obtained from the New Accounts Representative.
