Credit Union One of Oklahoma Debuts Wow-Worthy 6-Month CD Special

Early Withdrawal Penalty

As stated in the Truth-in-Savings disclosure (page 11), the Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) reads as follows:

Terms of 182-Day to 1 Year – 30 days’ dividends

If the SCS hasn’t earned enough dividends or if the dividends have already been paid when a withdrawal is made, the principal balance will be reduced.

If the SCS is closed before dividends are paid, you will forfeit the accrued dividends, in addition to the EWP.
