ABNB Federal Credit Union Ups 24-Month Certificate Rates
Virginia-based ABNB Federal Credit Union (ABNB) recently raised all its Certificates rates, with the 24-month Certificate offer the most competitive rates: 2.30% APY ($100k minimum) and 2.25% APY ($1k minimum).
The 24-month Certificate is also available as an IRA Certificate (Traditional, Roth, CESA), with tiered APYs 5 bps higher than offered on the Certificate.
As stated in the Truth-In-Savings disclosure, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:
For Certificates and IRA Certificates, the amount of the early withdrawal penalty on your account is 15 days dividends on the amount withdrawn for each month of the original term of the certificate.
When establishing a new certificate, you may elect to have your dividends compounded (placed back into the certificate) or deposited to your account. If you elect dividends to be deposited to your account, you may withdraw these dividends after they are posted to your account.
According to CSR, funding a Certificate can be done by ACH, wire transfer, check, or internal account transfer. ABNB participates in the CO-OP Shared Branch network, making the transfer of funds relatively easy.
Maturing funds can be distributed by a check to the address on file or deposited into an ABNB checking/savings account. There is a ten-day grace period before the 24-month Certificate automatically renews.
