Alternatively, you may choose to have dividends paid to you or to another account quarterly and at maturity rather than credited to this account.

Daily Balance Computation Method. Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method, which applies a daily periodic rate to your balance each day.

Withdrawal of Dividends Prior to Maturity. The annual percentage yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain in the account until maturity. A withdrawal may reduce earnings.

You will have a grace period of ten calendar days after maturity to withdrawal the funds without being charged an early withdrawal penalty.

+13 Month CD Special: Rate effective 7/1/2026. At maturity, the balance of the certificate will automatically roll into a 12 month term certificate at the current rate at that time. Offer subject to change.
