FAQs about Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

Accordion Section

A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a special savings account that holds your money for a fixed period of time. CDs can potentially offer higher interest rates than regular savings accounts, depending on the current rate environment. However, you cannot withdraw the funds early without paying a penalty fee. CD terms can range from 3 months to 5 years.

There is a $500 minimum deposit required to open a regular CD at Power Financial Credit Union. However, the minimum deposit can vary significantly for our promotional CDs.

Yes, our CDs automatically renew. If you don't take any action when the CD matures, it will automatically roll over (renew) into a new CD. This will happen unless you move the money into another CD of your choosing or withdraw the funds completely.

One popular CD investment strategy is to create a CD ladder. With a ladder, you split your savings into several CDs with different maturity dates. This strategy allows you to access part of your money at all times while maximizing your interest. In addition, laddering can help you avoid the key disadvantage of CDs: locking all your investment up for one set time.

 

If done properly, CD laddering provides the flexibility of a savings account and the higher yield of a CD. To get started, you take the total amount of money you want to invest and divide it into smaller amounts to be placed in CDs with staggered maturity dates. When each CD matures, the funds are placed into a new CD with a new term.

Our credit union usually sets its CD rates based on various factors, including market conditions and the length of the CD term.

When your CD matures, you can take out the money and the interest you earned. You can also renew it for another term or switch to a different type of account.

Yes, credit unions often offer slightly higher CD rates than banks because they are not-for-profit organizations.

At Power Financial Credit Union, we pass our profits back to our members in the form of higher yields in our deposit accounts, lower loan rates, and fewer fees.

Usually, you can't add more money to a CD once it's opened. You'll have to wait until it matures or open a new CD if you want to invest more money.
