During account opening, you can fund your account from either one of two methods. Some banks can be accessed through Plaid, a secure third-party data transfer network, by inputting your online banking login credentials. The other option is to provide the routing number & account number of the funding source account. This transfer will take place upon account approval. Please ensure sufficient funds are available in the funding account prior to submitting your application. There is no fee to transfer funds.
It may take 1 to 2 business days for the Bank to review your completed application. We’ll send you an email to the email address you provide letting you know the status or if additional information is needed.
For an account held to maturity, you will earn the full interest rate without any fees, including no fee for a deposit transfer, opening fee or maintenance fee.
The only potential penalty associated with our CDs occurs if you withdraw the deposit early, then a penalty equal to three (3) months interest will be charged to your account for CD terms less than 24 months.
For those longer (24-month term or more), then a penalty equal to six (6) months interest will be charged to your account.
