Connex Credit Union (CT) Adds 15-Month CD Special (Expired)

POSTED ON BY

Update 10/21/2021: The 15-month CD Special has ended early and is no longer available. A Connex official informed me that “due to an overwhelming response to our CD/MM offer, while extremely unusual, we choose to withdraw the offer earlier than October 30th.” The offer’s disclosure reserved the right for the Special to end at any time.

Deal Summary: 15-month CD Special, 1.35% APY, $500 minimum deposit, new money.

Availability: Fairfield, Hartford, Middlesex, and New Haven Counties, Connecticut.

Now through October 30, 2021 Connex Credit Union (Connex) is offering a 15-month CD Special earning 1.35% APY. The minimum opening deposit is $500 of new money, which is defined as “funds that are new to Connex Credit Union. Funds currently on deposit at Connex are not eligible.”

As stated in the Truth-in-Savings document, the Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) reads as follows.

Terms of longer than 12 months, 3% of the amount withdrawn and $25.00 per $10,000.00

The $25 fee applies to multiples of $10k and any fraction thereof, so a $9k withdrawal would result in an EWP of 3% ($210), plus the $25 fee. If $11k were withdrawn, the fee would jump to $50.

There is a 10 business day grace period before the 15-month CD Special renews as a standard 12-month CD at the current rate.

Availability

Headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut, Connex Credit Union’s field of membership (FOM) is community-based, with U.S. citizens/resident aliens who live, work, worship, or attend school in the Connecticut counties of Fairfield, Hartford, Middlesex, and New Haven, eligible to join.

Originally chartered in 1940 as the New Haven Telephone Employees Federal Credit Union, Connex Credit Union is currently Connecticut’s fifth largest credit union, with nearly 64,000 members and assets in excess of $814 million. The name was changed to Southern New England Financial Credit Union as more SEGs became affiliated with the Credit Union. In 2002, the charter was converted to a community-based state charter, allowing the FOM to include all residents of Fairfield, Hartford, Middlesex, and New Haven Counties. The charter change also led to a new name – Connex. Pronounced "connects," this bit of word whimsy was chosen to reflect the expanded field of membership – CONNECTicut residentS.
