POSTED ON BY

Deal Summary: 37-month Certificate Special, 3.29% APY ($250k), 3.24% APY ($100k), 3.19% APY ($50k), 3.13% APY ($10k), 3.09% APY ($1k)

Between 2014 and 2017, Collins Community Credit Union (Collins CCU) churned out a series of competitive Certificate Specials, but in the last two years, good CD rates at Collins CCU seem to have been on hiatus. While the rates on the 37-month Certificate Special were raised in substantially (53 bps) in December, at the time they weren’t that competitive. Eight months later, it’s a different story.

Like all of Collins CCU’s Certificates, the 37-month has tiered APYs, based on the following deposit levels:

    3.29% APY - $250k minimum

    3.24% APY - $100k minimum

    3.19% APY - $50k minimum

    3.13% APY - $10k minimum

    3.09% APY - $1k minimum

The Certificate Special is also being offered as an IRA Special (Traditional and Roth), earning the same APYs based on the same tiered balance levels.

As stated in the Truth-In-Savings disclosure, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:

If your account has an original maturity of more than one year:
The penalty we may impose will equal 180 days interest on the amount withdrawn.
