Needham Bank (MA) Introduces 15-Month CD Special
Massachusetts-based Needham Bank has recently added a 15-month CD Special (1.50% APY) to its product line. The minimum opening deposit is $1k and there is no balance cap.
The 15-month CD Special is also available as an IRA (Traditional, Roth, and CESA) earning the same APY, but the minimum deposit is only $250.
As stated in the Truth In Savings page (attached to the online application), the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:
If your account had an initial maturity of more than one year, the penalty will be equal to
six month interest, which would have been earned on the amount of principal withdrawn.
