A savings account allows you to deposit and withdraw funds with some limitations, while offering a variable interest rate. A Certificate of Deposit (CD) requires you to deposit funds for a fixed term with penalties for early withdrawal, but typically offers higher, fixed interest rates.
Yes, early withdrawal from a CD typically results in a penalty, which is usually a portion of the interest earned. The specific penalty depends on the term of your CD and is disclosed when you open the account.
You can make up to 6 withdrawals or transfers from your savings account per month. This includes online transfers, automatic transfers, and withdrawals. In-person withdrawals at branches or ATMs do not count toward this limit.
When your CD matures, you typically have a grace period (usually 7-10 days) during which you can withdraw the funds without penalty, renew the CD for the same term, or choose a different term. If you take no action, many CDs automatically renew at the current rate for the same term.
Yes, all Alvra Credit Union deposit accounts, including savings accounts and CDs, are FDIC insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per ownership category.
