The interest rate and annual percentage yield for a certificate of deposit account, or CD, are determined by the type of CD selected and the opening deposit or renewal balance. The annual percentage yield assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal of principal. Any withdrawal of principal or interest prior to maturity will reduce earnings on a CD. The required minimum opening deposit is $500 and depends on the type of CD selected. Contact your local branch for more details.
