FAQ

What is a Certificate of Deposit (CD)?

A CD is a type of investment or savings account with a fixed rate and term provided by the bank.

Why do people open CD accounts?

There are many different reasons to put money into a CD:

  • Saving for retirement
  • Down payment on a house
  • Low-risk investment with guaranteed return
  • Controlling your budget
  • Saving for education
  • Buying a car

My CD is maturing soon. Is there anything I need to do?

You will receive a maturity letter from us via postal mail approximately thirty (30) days prior to the maturity date.  Once the CD matures, you will have seven (7) calendar days, known as the grace period, to decide on one of the following options:

  • Automatic Renewal – If you do not take any action, the CD will automatically renew to the same CD term, unless specified otherwise.  (Promo CDs will automatically renew to a different term from the original term. Terms are described in the following question.)
  • Change CD – You can change the CD to a different product or term.
  • Close CD – You can close the CD and request the principal and interest be transferred to another account or be sent to you as a cashier check.

    What happens when a CD automatically renews?

    If you do not contact us to make changes to your CD during the grace period, the CD will automatically renew to another term.  CD interest rate and APY may change to the current rate at the time of the renewal. Please note that different CDs may auto renew at different terms.

    • Regular CD – Automatically renews at maturity for the same term
    • Premium CD – Automatically renews at maturity for the same term
    • Online Promo CD
      • The 9-month Promo CD will renew as a Regular 12-month CD after the first maturity and will renew as Regular 12-month CDs thereafter
      • The 18-month Promo CD will renew as a Regular 24-month CD after the first maturity and will renew as Regular 24-month CDs thereafter

    How is interest calculated for my CD?

    Interest is simple interest and will not be compounded

    Is there an early withdrawal penalty for my CD?

    A penalty may be imposed for withdrawal made before maturity. Early Withdrawal Penalty may reduce the principle balance.  The Early Withdrawal Penalty for each CD is as follows

    • Regular CD – One (1) to three (3) months simple interest of the opening balance, dependent on term.
    • Premium CD – One (1) month simple interest of the opening balance
    • Promo CD
      • 9-month – One (1) month simple interest of the opening balance
      • 18-month – Three (3) month simple interest of the opening balance
